           Summary: <button> should be scoping for the purpose of
                    implicitly closing <p>

It turns out that bug 9496 didn't capture all important aspects of <button>'s
scopingness. While it makes sense to make button non-scoping for the purpose of
mismatched end tag tokens coming from the tokenizer, <button> should be scoping
for the purpose of implicitly closing <p>.

That is, <p> should not get closed implicitly in this case:
<p><button><h5>Foo</h5></button></p>
