Description Marek Fukala 2009-04-17 15:34:14 UTC 
1) put following code into an html file:
    <p>
    <ul>
    </p>

=>both last two tags are marked as unmatched instead of marking <ul> is invalid content of <p> tag
- it works well for tags with required end tag like <div>:

<div>
<title></title>
</div>
Comment 1 Marek Fukala 2009-04-17 16:03:23 UTC 
The message is in fact correct. Since the <p> tag has optional end tag and doesn't have to contain any other content,
the parser closes the tag once it finds the <ul> tag. The <ul> tag doesn't have end tag=> first unmatched tag msg. and
the </p> end tag is unmatched since the <p> is already closed.
