In
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_hypert
extmodule
<a>'s content is listed as (PCDATA | Inline - a)*
So this is not allowed:
<a href="outer_link">
outer link,
<a href="inner_link">
inner link
</a>
</a>
So a browser's interpretation of nested links should be that it is
invalid xhtml. But current browsers do a best intention interpretation
of their own.

Subject: Behavior of nested Links, pseudos and style
Consider the following fragments of an xhtml document:
<style type="text/css">
a:link{text-decoration:none;}
a:hover{color:red;text-decoration:underline;}
</style>
And
<a href="outer_link">
outer link,
<a href="inner_link">
inner link
</a>
</a>
In both Mozilla5 (Gecko/20011120) and IE6, during mouseover events on
the outer link, only the non inner link changes style.
Is this according to spec?
Test page attached (linkTest.htm, 499Bytes).
Kindest regards,
Manos
