See the attached test case.  Try to activate the four link using either mouse or tab.  The border for the first three links is rendered improperly, by rendering a border on the inner text with different direction.  The only difference between the first two links and the last two links is that the text in one of them is in Persian, which is a right-to-left language.

Happens both in FF3.0a5 and on the trunk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached test case.
2. For each of the four links, activate it either using mouse or keyboard.  Watch the borders rendered improperly for all except the last link.
Actual Results:  
Borders are drawn for the inner span of text.

Expected Results:  
Only one set of border must be drawn for the whole link.
