Subject:    Bug#33560: dl, dt and dd are rendered horribly wrong

The page is rendered wrong due to the fact that all the anchors on the page 
are using invalid html syntax. The HTML specification requires all anchors (a 
tags) to have a closing tag, but on the page you mentioned, the "a name=" 
tags don't have a closing correspondent.

Still Konqueror should possibly handle <a name=""> tags correctly, as many 
authors use these anhors without closing tags.

Here is a smaller testcase. (Konqueror is very slow on the page reported, 
probably to the large number of nested a tags.)

<html>
<body>
<b> List with dt and dd tags (works) </b>
<dl>
<dt>term 1
<dd>definition 1
<dt>term 2
<dd>definition 2
</dl>

<b> List with dt and dd tags with unclosed anchors </b>
<dl>
<a name="1"><dt>term 1
<dd>definition 1
<a name="2"><dt>term 2
<dd>definition 2
<a name="2"><dt>term 2
<dd>definition 2
</dl>
</body>
</html>
