Overview Description:
I was reading http://www.theglobeandmail.com/ and found
that the entire front page was written in a huge font size,
due to this bit of residual style handling (?).
This bug may be a cousin to bug 54117.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) load the attached test case and view in mozilla vs. Nav4.x
Actual Results: text following the anchor is also in SIZE="6"
Expected Results: it is not valid form, but the 4xp styling is
to not show the text following the <A> in the
SIZE="6" style.
Reproducibility: 100%
Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
mac/linux/win32 PR3 candidate builds
Additional Information:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<TABLE border>
<TR>
<TD>
<!-- nesting of A and FONT is mismatched inside a TD -->
<A HREF="foo">
<FONT SIZE="6">
Thousands line Montreal route to say farewell
</A>
</FONT>
<br>
After thousands of Canadians filed past ...
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Adding rtm for consideration. Yes, this is not valid HTML, but this is not
an uncommon type of markup in use on the Web.

(By the way, There is a second problem mucking up that page, but it turns
out to be :
<table width="100% cellpadding="0">
---------------------^
The absence of that closing quote causes width to be calculated as some
small number of pixels, resulting in a very narrow table. However, I
can't see this as one of the more important fixes to make before RTM
(and arguably this is wontfix), so I am not filing a bug for this.
Although, if Ian or Rick or Jan thinks differently, then file a bug.)
marking this a dup.
