When using the short form
<a id="abc" /> the following text gets the css attributes of the link.
When using the longer form
<a id="abc"></a> does not trigger this misbehaviour.
See the URL for a complete example.
Tested on Linux and Windows, both behave exactly the same.
Not sure if this is a parser or css problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the example page for a full xhtml example

Actual Results:  
after the short form of <a> the following text gets wrong attributes

Expected Results:  
it should have used the right css attributes
