Here is a behavior of tidy that is not terrible,
but a bit confusing.
I ran into html like this today.

<body>
<a href=www.edbrowse.org>link1
<a href=www.edbrowse.org>link2
<a href=www.edbrowse.org>link3
</body>

Edbrowse renders this as nested hyperlinks

{link1 {link2 {link3}}}

This works, as long as you remember that a link is marked by open brace,
not close brace or the text in between.
but it really should render as

{link1} {link2} {link3}

The reason is that the second <A> tag does not close off the first.
They are all closed off at the end.
If an early anchor happens to miss its </a> tag,
then the entire document, the entire web page, could be enclosed in the 
hyperlink.
