           Summary: Close tags for li, dd, dt do not close previous unclosed
                    tags
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jamesr at google.com


According to the rules for an end tag of "dd", "dt" or "li" at:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#parsing-main-inbody
implicit end tags should be generated for previously unclosed tags until the
matching "dd"/"dt"/"li" is found.  In the case where there's a structure like:

<XX>
 <div>
</XX>
<XX>
 <div>
</XX>

where XX is one of these tags WebKit nests the second XX and its children
inside the first <div>.  It should close out the first <div> at the first </XX>
tag.
