I don't think this document should try to explain the requirements of being xml
well formed (or of being html valid) If it states such rules in full, it
becomes vastly larger and if just summarizes them it will get details wrong in
edge cases.

I think the document should just state the _additional_ constraints that need
to be met given a document that is xml well formed and html valid, for it to
give equivalent DOM trees whether parsed as xml or html.
