By all means let there be a working group to define how browsers should behave when faced with invalid HTML 4.01- (a.k.a. tag soup), but do not let their work interfere with the task in hand, which is to define what the next iteration of HTML should be, and how browsers should behave when presented with a /valid/ instance of it (and, perhaps, how to fail gracefully when presented with something that claims to be [valid] HTML5 but is not).
