Wrap Anchor?

By doing it yourself you take the burden off the browser and allow it to parse through the page without having to stop for a millisecond and make a block box.

Which honestly sounds like another “lame browser side optimization” – much akin to the “tables are slow to render” nonsense. (when a 386/40 with 8 megs of RAM and windows 3.1 can handle a table, it’s a BS claim when even handhelds are pushing past 1ghz and multi-core)… or the “Implementing video/audio on the existing OBJECT tag instead of on new tags is too complex” bull.

Since if (excuse the pseudocode)

if (thisNode.type=='textNode') {
  thisNode.level=(
    (thisNode.parentNode.level==BLOCKLEVEL) &&
    (thisNode.nextSibling!=null) &&
    (thisNode.nextSibling.level==BLOCKLEVEL)
  ) ? BLOCKLEVEL : INLINELEVEL;
}

Qualifies as a “burden”, there’s something wrong with the person writing the browser… Though admittedly between Mozilla and Microsoft, that could indeed be the case.
