http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013Aug/0002.html from Travis Leithead seems to indicate that at this point Microsoft is inclined to implement the spec change.

See also bug 884795 which resulted in another change to the AAA:

It makes conforming pages parse correctly (before, if you nested multiple identical formatting elements more than 3 deep, you'd end up corrupting your tree; that was only supposed to happen when the document was non-conforming).

r+, but instead of 

for (int j = 1; true; ++j) {

I'd prefer

int j = 0;
for (;;) {
  ++j;
  ...
}

to make the structure of the code match the structure of the spec more closely.
