I believe this changed just a few days to a week before I added my bug

It's rather obvious in Mozilla and Netscape 6, because the DOCTYPE
triggers strict parsing mode and the tag soup method of nested <DL>
elements for indents stops working.
Well, it says HTML 4 Transitional now, but it's still not right. There's
an <hr> inside a <font> tag and the nested <dl> stuff still isn't
considered valid. (Mozilla ignores it)
