In the following test case:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
 <p style='background: yellow'>
   Here is some text with yellow background.
   <div></div>
   This text should still have a yellow background, but doesn't.
 </p>
</body>
</html>

Both paragraphs should be yellow, but only the top one is displayed yellow.

1) I already have. I couldn't find anything that is relevant.
2) Even if this is invalid HTML, the result is clearly against user expectation.
3) If the HTML specification explicitly says that this is how a User Agent should
   render this case, please point me to the relevant section so that I can see.
