1. go to http://forums.asp.net/t/1236570.aspx
2. When going down the thread, the font size gets smaller.

It seems that the relative font size specification is somehow misapplied(?) in webkit. It could well be their stylesheet that is to blame. Anyway, IE and FF 3 do not have this problem.

Moving out of Layout and Rendering based on the description, which makes it sounds like a CSS issue.

reduced test case

The page has the following : 

......
<div>
  <div />
</div>
......

IE/Firefox can recognize/ignore this and render the font size properly, while webkit doesn't /  can't.

BTW, it does not matter whether doctype is at the beginning of not. 

Ian, does HTML5 draft have any provision for this case?

I notice that forums.asp.net no longer has this problem.  They probably changed the site.  I wonder if the underlying bug is still worth fixing?

Yes, we seem to disagree with html5lib here.

Note that this isn't about <div /> at all - all browsers handle that identically, ignoring the stray slash. My not-too-informed guess is that </li> should close misnested divs.

Should like a duplicate of the infamous NY Times ads bugs, then.
