Both browsers are in error-recovery mode; <menu> can not nest. If you
need nested lists, you should use <ul>, <ol>, or <dl>. The <menu> and
<dir> elements are for simple lists. From RFC 1866:
The <MENU> element is a list of items with typically one line per
item. The menu list style is typically more compact than the style of
an unordered list.
The content of a <MENU> element is a sequence of <LI> elements.
Nested block elements are not allowed in the content of <MENU>
elements.
