Basicly this simple employees a HEAP of <big> tags and only requires a single closing tag. Someone versions on view will die others require something to activate rendering I assume this could be done via a java script.

Proof of concept

Mozilla doesn't crash some version my experience high cpu usage while rendering also the layout will be stuffed but it is also a problem with overflowing font sizes.
Opera untested.
Other untested.
