" " Since CSS is basically the first thing that actually requires the browser " to parse HTML into some sort of element tree, I think the test suite " should ensure that browers are implying end-tags and implying them at the " correct spots. " " For instance in " <P>Paragraph 1. " " <P>Paragraph 2. " " There is one character of whitespace after the period in the first " paragraph. If the style of paragraphs is underlined, this last space " should be underlined too. Yes. The case I was thinking about (I suggested to Eric) was where, say, a UL follows an unterminated P. Properties set on P should not be inherited by UL; the UA needs to pay at least some superficial attention to the DTD to know this.
