In the example named above, there is an <a id="anchor1" />, self-closed as legal
in XML / XHTML. However, Mozilla still applies the underline to the following
text, until it meets another opening <a> tag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create XHTML as above.

Actual Results:  
The third paragraph underlines, according to the a:hover binding in CSS, and is
also blue according to the a binding to the anchor element. This behaviour
continues until the next anchor.

Expected Results:  
Totally ignored the CSS rules, as it was a self-contained anchor.
<a id="anchor1" /> is not legal unless you serve the page as application/xhtml+xml.

Since the page is served as text/html, it is parsed as HTML as the Appendix C
rules of XHTML 1 apply.
