This confirms the point that the classification of elements into

Of course it can be. What does:
<abbr>
<ul/>
<p/>
</abbr>
mean?
OK, I'm not advocating for making things like this valid. But if I, being
a human and not a machine, saw this sequence in a real document, I would
think that the author is abusing <abbr> for presentational purposes and
that he probably intends that the visual effect of <abbr> should be
applied to the list and paragraph. So, if I was the renderer, I'd build
the following (invalid) DOM and render it appropriately:
ABBR
UL
P
I think the machine should do something similar, though it should be, of
course, expressed as formal logic.
