When validating this page:
http://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender.git/commit/master
using validator.w3.org it reports no problems (a "Passed" result).
And yet the page contains this sequence (simplified to start/end tags
and descriptive text):
<a>message for current master commit
<span>
<span>
<a>master</a>
</span>
</span>
</a>
If you select the show source option on the validator, the above
sequence appears on line 28 in the source input listing.
According to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#prohibitions a elements may
not contain other a elements at any depth. Neither does HTML allow
nesting of a elements.
Is this a known limitation of the validation service?
