Let's just consider this thread, then, to be subsumed under the earlier thread "HTML parsing, <script>, and document.write() test/issue details?" The incongruent node counts offered by differing browsers are, I suppose, just more evidence that parsing rules are needed. In that thread you wrote: >If anyone wants to construct said tests, the relevant parts of the WHATWG specification are: [snip] I think most of the anomalies contained in the page I referenced earlier could be useful in that capacity.
