+1. text/html validates the page as html and do not check XML wf.
    Though does it mean that many pages which were validating XHTML 1.0 will be invalid HTML5?
    I guess it is just the XML wf. so no issue.
    (we have to be careful with user expectations, and document it very clearly somewhere).

+1 to the option for checking XML wf.


The other issue is when you upload a document. In this scenario, you have no idea what was the intent of the person. We could still propose both scenario.
