If one <label> contains another and the first has "display:block" style, then the second label will also be shown as a block element, even if explicitly marked as "display:inline" (which shouldn't be necessary anyway).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Save following code into file:

<label style="display:block">Outer label<label>Inner label</label></label>

and display.
Actual Results:  
Shows "Outer label" and "Inner label" on two separate lines.

Expected Results:  
Inner label should be on the same line as "outer label".

Works fine for, e.g., a "span" element.  Works as expected under I.E.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.9.1 - the content of label is %inline -label, so what you've written is, after error correction, <label style="display:block">Outer label</label><label>Inner label</label>
