It's not valid HTML, but validity isn't that important for HTML.
It's entirely conforming MicroXML. The fact that some HTTP server
labels it (for good and sufficient reasons) as text/html doesn't make
it not MicroXML.

Let's face it: software is crap. Feature-laden and bloated, written under
tremendous time-pressure, often by incapable coders, using dangerous
languages and inadequate tools, trying to connect to heaps of broken or
obsolete protocols, implemented equally insufficiently, running on
unpredictable hardware -- we are all more than used to brokenness.
