As it happens I am traveling to Oslo and back those days. Sorry! I do not feel too strongly, and please publish if this is all that is holding the document back, but I do think a comment I made earlier still stands. The comparison between how HTML instructs an agent to "recover from markup errors" whereas XML is unforgiving is skewed. I think the reality is more that HTML creates a tree out of any given input and XML defines a number of conditions that will not result in a tree. I think this is important because of the apparent perception that an HTML parser is somehow vastly more complex than its XML counterpart. See e.g. https://plus.google.com/103429767916333774260/posts/R6dPzhbc94R for an example of that. Cheers, -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
