Summary Paragraph breaks are too tall when font size is tall

When bigger font size is specified for text, paragraph breaks in Safari are too tall. Example: <p><font size="7">First paragraph.</p> <p>Second paragraph.</p></font> Repro: ###### 1) Launch "http://just1gb.googlepages.com/font_break.html" in all browsers to see the height of gaps between the paragraphs.

Confirmed. The <font> misnesting has thrown off margin collapsing here.

html5lib says that the DOM should be <p><font/><p><p><font/><p>. This is basically why WebKit is failing <http://hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/parsing/error-handling/002/007.html> and related tests.

Ugh. That model results in a proliferation of <font> elements that WebKit currently avoids. If there are 1000 <p> elements, WebKit reopens only once. That seems much better to me (ignoring issues of compatibility). :)

This is fixed by the HTML5 parser.
