What kind of errors?

1.- Unacceptable errors that make HTML parsers fail could be checked by a 
sepparate tool.

2.- Acceptable errors that HTML parsers accept imply no problem for 
Schematron, XSLT or XQuery rules.

3.- Acceptable errors that make HTML parsers fail should not exist. If 
they exist, they are a bug in the HTML parser.

4.- Unacceptable errors that HTML parsers accept can be ignored or cheched 
by a sepparate too.

Besides that, both Schematron and XSLT/XQuery rules can be based on ROBUST 
XPath expressions, so even though reliable parsing is not possible, these 
techniques can still be applied. It is only a problem of making them 
robust enough.
