They don't work well for character styles I'm not convinced that they do in well structured documents, although it does seem to be the case that early Netscape browsers parsed separate trees for each type of styling markup (i.e. turned on on a non / tag and turned off on a / tag). > (they often overlap) Most of the structure clashes that I see are the result of trying to impose a layout that doesn't have the same structure as the document. Tagged PDF deals with that by having inline markup where the structures align and dividing the rest up into the intersection of the two structures (structure clash resolution in popular 1990s programming methodologies) and using separate tree to represent the alternative structure at that level. PDF, of couse, uses presentation for the primary decomposition.
