While writing the previous entry I discovered a bug in WordPress whereby nested <blockquote>s are “fixed” in a way that breaks them. I don’t feel competent enough right now to fix the bug though. This bug possibly affects other tags where nesting is valid.
It’s possible to circumvent the bug by disabling the “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” option under “Options > Writing” but that its self caused more problems with validation and formatting.
I may take a look at the bug in the future and if it’s not fixed by then I’ll have a stab at doing so.
[ Update ]
Looks like this bug has been fixed by coffee2code with an embarrassingly simple patch. Hurrah.
