hi Alvaro! Thank you for reporting it and sorry about the bug. I'll investigate and report soon.

By the way, that website's source code is breaking the latest Safari source code preview renderer (Chrome manages to patch it).
.

It also breaks Kangax minifier (which is industry-standard web-dev oriented minifier). My preliminary hypothesis is that those JSP templating bits and/or HTML markup bugs somehow throw the algorithm off. I'll find out.

From algorithm improvement perspective, it's a treasure trove! I've harvested couple TDD tests todo from it already.
