It works. It's dependent on Siblings - elements which are on the same level, in
terms of hierarchy, as each other:

<h2></h2>
<p><b></b></p>
<p></p>
<div>
    <p></p>
    <p></p>
</div>


The two <P>s at the same level as <h2> and <div> are siblings of those elements.
The <B> is a child of the <P> that contains it, so it doesn't affect the
relationships between its parent and its parent's sibling elements. The <P>s
which are children of the <div> (a film, surely...) are siblings of each other
but not of the first two <P>s.

That probably doesn't make much sense, sorry.
