Using the current spec, yes. And that is the behaviour I like.
The question was in the context of someone suggesting that content()
should not flatten the tree. As I was trying to point out, that would
bring in many, many problems, mainly because you would have to style the
bit of the tree you bring in as well, and that opens a can of worms the
like of which noone has seen before... ;-)
