Tag soup is things like: <b> xxx <i> yyy </b> zzz </i> - elements don't nest <b><p>......</p></b> - content model violated (block in inline) <br> in HTML has the same meaning as <br/> in XHTML, and results in the same parse tree. HTML will be required for decades to come, not just for legacy content. IE doesn't support proper XHTML. I believe the suggestion to have a tag soup and XML parser was trying to say that a good tag soup parser will also parse valid HTML. It wasn't saying that valid HTML is tag soup.
