When using a self closing anchor tag, usually used for creating page anchors to
sections (ex: <a name="sec1" />) FF 1.0 does not close the anchor. This makes
following content part of the anchor and has the potential to make non anchor
elements display wrong. This may be a Gecko problem.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an xhtml 1.0 template
2. add this code (or something similar): <h1><a name="sec1" />Text</h1>
3.
Actual Results:
"Text" will become a link even tho the anchor has closed.
Expected Results:
Closed the anchor.

<a /> does not close the element in HTML.
If you look at the Type in View->Page Info, it says "text/html", right?

sending the attachemnt as application/xhtml+xml just plain doesn't work for said
testcase. If you send as html, we handle as HTML, which means that you can't
close the element as with xhtml.

Try using:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
and serve it as "application/xhtml+xml", then it works?
