Summary: Tag balancing differences in HtmlUnit and real browsers
Initial Comment:
In case of incomplete/unbalanced HTML source code, browsers like Firefox and Chrome might create different DOM trees depending on the document type. For example, "<p><table></table>" is balanced to "<p><table></table></p>" in Quirks mode and to "<p></p><table></table>" in Standard mode. HtmlUnit seems to apply the Quirks balancing strategy in Standard mode as well. This is not a big deal except that XPaths copied from one of these browsers might or might not work in HtmlUnit without modification.

Message:
There are more examples, especially if the HTML code is not valid (with
respect to the specs). For example, the following snippet (btw. generated
by a GUI framework):
<a><table>...</table></a>
was rebalanced to:
<a></a><table>...</table>
FF leaves this as is. So when clicking somewhere inside the table:
* the XPath needed is different across browsers (causes problems when
Selenium is used with different drivers) and
* the anchor will not be triggered when using HtmlUnit.
I extended the test case to cover this issue as well.
