This is handled by XML. At one point the HTML WG looks at current implementations and at other points they simply miss the fact that implementations typically do not have validating parsers. I would assume the HTML WG would have learned from HTML 4 that having no forward compatible error handling leads to huge interoperability issues that are still not solved today. (These issues apply equally well to XHTML 1 in case someone might think it has to do with HTML being not XML or so...) XML also allows implementations of non-validating parsers and it is generally agreed upon that DOCTYPEs are a bad idea anyway. Given that XML does not mendate validating parsers I don't see how XML handles error handling for XHTML 2.0. Please change the draft so that it defines error handling.
