When's the last time you read anything new in opera.beta? Not even
Opera posts new beta release announcements there anymore.

For some unknown reason, my newsreader, XanaNews, had been ignoring
opera.beta for weeks, but not opera.general or the other opera-related
newsgroups, thus leading me to wrongly believe opera.beta was
essentially dormant. My apologies for the above rather snotty comment.

I don't know if quirks mode is involved here, but this
perfectly valid, although deprecated, contraption causes
some amount of text following it to disappear:
...
Test case:
Notes:
* Except for the ellipsis above, the elements must
be empty or contain only white-space.
* The bug seems to have been introduced in 7.60.

After looking at the original markup, I think it would
also benefit from a submission of six feet of dirt. :-)
