Hi all,

I am developing an HTML rendering app and now working on CSS implementation.
I understand I need to build a document tree to be able to correctly
implement CSS inheritance and contextual selectors. Now, a document

ABC <B> DEF <I> GHI </i> KLM </B> NOP

tranlates into a simple nice tree as every tag has a matching closing tag
and there are no crossovers. But what do you do with something like this :

ABC <B> DEF <I> GHI </B> KLM </I> NOP

Note that the closing B tag is encounted before a closing I tag. This is
still perfectly legal HTML, but how do you build a free out of that?

Thanks in advance.
