I am afraid that the current editor's draft specification
bends over backwards so far to permit ill-formed documents
to be rendered that any hopes that he will treat the <img>
element strictly whilst treating all other aspects leniently
are destined to be dashed ...

(Bur of course this is only the editor's draft :
who knows how different the final specification
will be ?).
