You should NEVER have "start tag 1", "start tag 2", "end tag 1" and "end
tag 2".
(in this case <A><FONT></A></FONT>.
I don't know if this is creating the problem in Arachne, but it just ain't
something you should do. It might be legal HTML (I'm not sure) but it sure
is far from recomended - any decent HTML tutorial/book will mention this as
an error that should be avoided.

Ex: <B>A<U>B<I>C</B>
This can be treated like this by some browsers: <B>A<U>B<I>C</I></U></B>
The reason is that you are closing the first unclosed tag so everything
between will get closed as well and you return to normal text layout
(another option is to crash or lock or seomthing like that).

It's been a while since I read any HTML tutorial so I'm not sure if this
has been removed "since all browsers can handle it" from new ones and can't
provide you with any links.
BTW: Is &rt; valid? (as a ">") It's (still) supported by Arachne but I
don't think such an entity ever existed - Netscape 3.04 can't handle it.
