I agree with all that you wrote, and like you, feel that the  validator
must report
exactly the result of parsing the mark-up with an SGML and nothing but
that. 

My guess is that this fell out of some feature of the language intended to 
ease typing. I cannot, though, believe that it was deliberate. The best I
can hope for is that it is documented on the parser site.
