[Bug 11366] 1.9.2 - Syntax Errors - Unclear Regarding HTML vs XML Syntax

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11366

I am referring to Section 1.9.2 of the W3C Working Draft 16 November 2010. The
description of errors does not adequately distinguish between errors that apply
to the HTML serialization versus the XML serialization.
