We used to not reopen the tags. It was the #1 rendering bug in our
engine. We had over 60 unique duplicates of the bug in our internal
database. All that would happen if we didn't reopen the tags is that
people would switch to another browser. :)

I have to ask - why reopen the tags? Why not throw them on the
floor? They're wrong anyhow and cause problems. If bad code
didn't (sort of) work, people would write different code. That
would be good.
IOW:
<em><p>stuff</em></p> looks like
Body
+em
+p
+stuff

For example, allowing blocks inside inlines minimizes the number of
residual style tags that you have to re-open, and deferring the
reopening of such tags until a misnested close tag is encountered
ensures that well- formed documents don't end up with a bloated
DOM. ...
Your DOM would grow unacceptably large on real-world pages if you
try to restrict blocks from being inside inlines and end up
reopening the inlines over and over again inside each block.
