I don't think this is a typo.  To "abut" means to border or to share a
common edge.  That said, the text could perhaps be slightly clearer by
using terms like innermost or outermost, but I'd rather not attempt to
write such text; I'm not even sure what the current text means in cases
like <p>"<span>This</span> is text."</p>, where both the " and the T are
part of the first letter.
