           Summary: HTML parser fails to propertly close 4 identical
                    nested formatting elements
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
               URL: http://www.thezorklibrary.com/history/00-encyclopedia.
                    html
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: zcorpan at gmail.com

URL has markup like this: 

<big><big><big><big>a</big></big></big></big>b 

See http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1757

In Firefox the "b" is a child of body, in Opera/WebKit it's a child of the first <big> element (so the text gets bigger and bigger for each section on the page). 

In Opera we concluded that this was a spec violation and we have fixed it.
