Consider the following markup:

Notice that the string element starts in one p and finished in the next. This is of course malformed and violates the tree structure.

Has anyone documented how different browsers handle this in their respective DOMs? e.g. creating three separate strong elements or creating one that is a child of three parents?

http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#parsing

html5lib |python parse.py -x "<div><p>foo<strong id=x>...</p><p>bar</strong>...</p>| gives:

FWIW the spec/html5lib closely matches the behaviour of Firefox but not Opera (I don't have anything else to test). Also, I have no idea where you got the number three from... a typo?
