The first part of the sentence is talking about tools that are *consuming*
markup. I don't think that the TAG intended for these exact words to be used
within the Scope section, but if it helps to clarify the intent, it would be
better to say:

    ... for maximum flexibility, XML-based tools that consume
    HTML should use the technique of using an HTML parser that
    produces a DOM or event stream that can be consumed as XML.

Also, note the reference to 'authoring tools' in the first bullet point could
encompass any HTML-generating tool, though it's not as strong as you'd like
(suggesting providing polyglot output as an option rather than saying it *must*
be produced).
