when an <a> tag contains one or <div> tags, all child nodes of the <a> tag are returned by the parser *after* the closing <a> tag

For example, this HTML:
<a href="http://foo.com/">
<div id="mydiv">divContent</div>
<span id="myspan">spanContent</span>
otherContent
</a>
parses to:
<a href="http://foo.com/">
</a><div id="mydiv">divContent</div>
<span id="myspan">spanContent</span>
otherContent
HTML 5 states that the element "may be wrapped around entire paragraphs, lists, tables, and so forth, even entire sections, so long as there is no interactive content within (e.g. buttons or other links)"
