    <thetext>In the text added in rev 4803, the step
&quot;Set node to the previous entry in the stack of open elements.&quot;
is not a sufficient advancement to make the loop terminate when node becomes a node that has already been popped by the secondary insertion mode in the previous iteration. To make things advance, it is necessary to jump right back to the &quot;Loop:&quot; label in that case.

Or more importantly, you might want to abort processing the end tag if insertion mode is no longer &quot;in foreign&quot;.</thetext>
