Really? All the evidence I provided above shows the current implementation 
*skips* block tags because it takes into account only elements for which 
[`isLeaf`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/83d92672d4c2637fc37ddd873533c85a9b083904/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/text/AbstractDocument.java#L2636)
 method returns `true`, that is `LeafElement`s. Block tags are represented with 
`BranchElement`, its 
[`isLeaf`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/83d92672d4c2637fc37ddd873533c85a9b083904/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/text/AbstractDocument.java#L2481)
 method returns `false`.
