[whatwg] Update to the Adoption Agency Algorithm

[David Hyatt]

BTW, we tried to add <span> as an inline that should be reopened  
(like <font> and <b> etc.) and it broke some of our layout tests  
(snippets of real-world Web sites).  <span> clearly does not always  
reopen in WinIE and Firefox, so for now we are having to leave it out.
