Yes, ol and ul create a scope. When there's no "li" element in ol/ul scope, "li" end tags are ignored. (Firefox and WebKit does the same with <dd><dl></dd>x and WebKit with <dt><dl></dt>x, but Opera does not. Have not tested IE for these. I'm not aware of sites depending on one or the other for <dl>.) (In reply to comment #3) > HTML5 matches IE8 here. I think IE8 is not compatible with Web content here. This exact issue is pointed out as a compat problem in IE8 documentation, and IE8 doesn't do it in quirks or compat view modes. I think from Opera's point of view, the specified behavior is WONTIMPLEMENT for Web compat reasons. 26894 5 zcorpan 2009-09-07 10:59:24 +0000 (IE7 and IE8 in quirks and compat view modes always ignore "li" end tags.) 26895 6 ian 2009-09-07 11:09:07 +0000 Ok... 33134 7 mjs 2010-03-14 14:48:24 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
