Validity of the argument

The HTML 4 spec. says

12.2.2 Nested links are illegal

Links and anchors defined by the A element must not be nested; an A element must not contain any other A elements.

So as Kai rightly asks, why does the following XHTML:

<a href="http://cs/"><b>test <a href="http://different/">test 2</a></b></a>

validate, when the following:

<a href="http://cs/">test <a href="http://different/">test 2</a></a>

does not? The same tried in HTML 4 has the expected behaviour of failing to validate both tests.

Surely the above rule applies to all child objects of the A element as well? If so, the validator is broken (not unheard of). If not the spec. is broken (IMHO).
