Noticed on www.infospace.com, while looking at an unrelated problem.
This pattern evades 2000010908 win95 :
<font face="Arial,Helvetica" size=2>
<A HREF="foo.html">
<b>Public Records</b>
</font>
<br>
<font face="Tahoma,Helvetica,Arial" size=1>Find Anyone, Background
Checks,<br>SS# Checks, Adoption Reunions</a> ...</font><br>
But, just in case anyone's reading this ... I think infospace are absolute
gods of well-formed HTML, simply perfection, the best, never make an error,
I'm honored just to find our bugs on their page, mozilla is not worthy, I'm
completely serious here ...

This is legit. It's a subtle error in auto-closing in residual style tags.
Oh -- and for the record, this HTML is *not* well-formed. :(
Here's my reduced testcase: <font face="Arial,Helvetica" size=2> <A HREF="foo.html"> Public Records </font> <br> Find Anyone, Background Checks,<br>SS# Checks, Adoption Reunions</a> ...
I suppose that the problem with the html below is the same thing, even if this
is more like 'late' close of <A>.
<html>
<body>
<a href="target1">target1
<p><a href="target2">target2</a>
</p>
some text
</body>
</html>
Viewed in mozilla all the text shown is a link to target1, in 4.x it's displayed
as two different links and normal text ('some text').
Fount this on slashdot.org, bottom half of the frontpage was a link to
someplace.

Summary: [4.xP] small parse problem; 'early' close of <A> → small parse problem; 'early' close of <A>
No hope for this in m14. Moving out.
Target Milestone: M14 → M15

That is some _impressively_ badly formed HTML! :-O
Summary: small parse problem; 'early' close of <A> → small parse problem; 'early' close of <A> {compat}
This appears to be fixed as a side effect of fixing 3944.
