I just noticed the failure #28 for this SC. I do not believe we can use this as it stands. While there has been some work on canonical XML, I am not aware of any such work for HTML; thus there is no single 'correct' DOM representation of an HTML document. Furthermore I think the SC as it stands is erroneous; being able to parse to a single datastructure is not the definition of whether a sentence in a language is ambiguous. A) It is common to use single datastructures (e.g. a linked list) to represent ambiguous languages, and B) You cannot force a single data structure on browser manufacturers (even if one existed).
