I looked at this in detail, and found some strange behaviour in all
three versions of dillo (3.0.4, 3.1-dev, and 3.1-dev_grows2). Consider
this HTML:

    <div>
        A <span style="background-color: green">B</span> C
    </div>
    <div>
        A <span style="background-color: green"><font>B</font></span> C
    </div>

In the first line, "B" is shown with a green background, as expected,
but not in the second line, where the only difference is the <font>
element.

Is this a bug of the HTML parser?
