I think we all agree on what the feature would do. The discussion
seems to be centered now on how it would be triggered. I understand
Norm's proposal: essentially using a "flag" (e.g. option passed to the
step that tells the component if yes or no TagSoup or similar should
be used). But Alex, how would this work with a content type? I
understand that for HTML, the component would use TagSoup or similar
when the content type is text/html and won't when it is
application/xhtml+xml. But:

1) What would the behavior with other XHTML media types (say text/xml)?
2) What are the appropriate content types to use for other types of
documents to trigger vs. not trigger this behavior?
