Putting some <article> or <section> inside a <a> element is breaking the DOM : <article>'s children are out of it, the <a> is some kind of duplicated... and so the style is not applied.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use FF 3
2. open the page http://zeedev.aaz.fr/ff-parser-bug/
3. Have a look at the page and the DOM
Actual Results:  
Lorem ipsum is not red, the dom is changed

Expected Results:  
Lorem ipsum should be red, the dom is ok

If you're running 1.9.2, you're not using the HTML5 parser.

The testcase works fine for me on trunk, with the HTML5 parser.

Does it mean HTML5 parser is for FF4 only ?

Yes. Changing the parser in Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x is out of scope. (The scope being security and stability fixes.)
Ok, I understand. That's a pity since this bug is kind of breaking the DOM and it seems that there is no work around for it.

Anyway, thanks for your responsiveness :-)
