--- Comment #2 from Gabriel Wicke <[email protected]> ---
This is a difference between tidy used by MediaWiki in production and the HTML5
spec. Tidy closes unclosed formatting elements eagerly, while the HTML5 spec
demands that formatting elements are restored in most cases.

We are considering to prevent formatting elements from bleeding out of
transclusions (see bug 50536) for reasons of correctness and performance, but
so far we don't have plans to generally move away from HTML5-compliant (and
MediaWiki without tidy) behavior for this.

We can detect unclosed tags and provide information for fix-ups in the wikitext
though. That is partly tracked in bug 50547. I thought that we had another bug
for this, but don't currently find it. Will add a link to bug 50547 when I find
it.
