Linux, Mozilla nightly build 031716. The following HTML: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/"><cite>link <p>..link </cite></a>text after link <p>more randomness causes the anchor (link to www.fastcompany.com) to NOT terminate at the </a>. Instead, everything after <a href:...> is treated as the link. If I remove the nested <p>: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/"><cite>link ..link </cite></a>text after link <p>more randomness the anchor tag correctly terminates at </a>. If instead I remove the <cite></cite> tags: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/">link <p>..link </a>text after link <p>more randomness again, the link is terminated correctly.

Ugh, this is very invalid HTML. If anyone wants this fixed, we're going to need to find top100 sites that exhibit this. If we don't fix it by rtm, then we might as well mark it WONTFIX or INVALID, since by then there will be a precedent for our behaviour: us.

Actually, the problem is still appearing. From Hixie's comment though, this should be an INVALID. Marking as such, since <p> is illegal inide <a> tags. REOPENing.
