The html-parsing section of the spec and the browsers I've tested [1]
seem to be doing the right thing, however I'd love if this was noted as
a conforming pattern. Probably more testing is prudent.
PROBLEM:
<p id="something-here">
[ massive bloviation and many inner tags
<p>including
Not-well indented p-tags
</p>
</p> <!-- ad hoc solution! comment: id="something-here" -->
MORE ELEGANT ALTERNATIVE:
<p id="something-here">
....
</p id="something-here">
If it was noted as specifically conformant, this could possibly help
parsers in some cases, including the human variety.
cheers,
