Patch: Failed comparison of activeFormattingElements entry with Marker #44
Description
On node 0.6.3 and html5 v0.3.5, parsing multiple page fragments with the same parser sometimes causes failures in the treebuilder, which are caused by a pointer-unequal marker element in reconstructActiveFormattingElements and elementInActiveFormattingElements. The problem is mainly triggered if the parsed fragments contain tables.
The following patch converts the pointer equality based check into a node type check, which fixes the problem for me:
