E.g. <b> sets a bold flag <i> turns it off: <b>....<i>....</b>....</i> is legal and produces an effect similar to: <b>.....<i>....</i></b><i>....</i> ought to produce (this is a common idiom in real life HTML). <b>....<i>....<b>....</b>....</i>.....</b> is as likely to produce: <b>....<i>....<b>....</b></i></b>...... as what was intended (I've observed this with indenting).
