Take Liam's example: <p></p><p>foo</p></p> Parse it... <p></p> => OK, paragraph opened and closed, we're done with that one <p>foo</p> => OK, paragraph opened and closed, we're done with that one </p> => uh? what's that, closing a paragraph that doesn't exist? So eventhough you think the <p> and </p> are balanced, if you add the implied closing tags, they're not. -- Olivier
