User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 GTB7.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 GTB7.1

If an anchor, which is a child of an unordered list, has an unordered list as a child, the anchor will be closed and reopened prior to each LI and closed and reopened after the final LI.

Probably goes back to when Anchors could not contain block level elements. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open UL
2. Open LI
3. Open A
4. Open UL
5. Open LI
6. Create text
7. Close LI
8. Close UL
9. Close A
10. Close LI
11. Close UL
Actual Results:  
Creates 3 Anchor Tags

-ul
--li
---a
----#text
---ul
----li
-----a
------#text
---a
----#text

Expected Results:  
Single Anchor Tag

-ul
--li
---a
----ul
-----li
------#text

Thanks for checking trunk! I'm at work and don't have access to it right now... going to have to change that. Anyway, thank you again!

I've got this issue in Firefox 3.6.12 on Mac OS X 10.6.4. Issue showed up with errant :hover behaviour. Here's a test case: http://watershedcreative.com/browser-bugs/bugzilla-577111.html
