   Hum, each time I look at the HTMLparser/serializer I end-up with
a big headache :-\

  It seems the right solution is to get <li> and <p> item saveEndTag
to 1. I'm just wondering how much other stuff this is gonna break :-\
Since in the HTML area there is no rules (or nobody respects them),
I don't see any other methodology than trial and error.
  I assume your software processes quite a bit of HTML, could you
try to set up saveEndTag to 1 for <li> and <p> and report if this break
somewhere else. Others using HTML are invited to do so too.
