it all depends what mime type you send it with. If you send it to FF
with an xml mime type it will parse as XML and so b will be closed before
the text. If you send it with an html mime type, then what you _should_
get is the same as if the input had been >abc with a visible > sign, but
this depends on low level SGML arcane parsing rules and no desktop
browser uses a full SGML parser, so in practice you get whatever you get.
