http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15006

           Summary: Sample document as displayed is not well-formed XML
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT

At various points in the document offered in section "Example Document", markup
is mentioned without being escaped.  In one case, i.e.

  "Polyglot markup introduces undeclared (native) default namespaces 
      for the the root SVG element (<svg>)"

this makes the document you get if you simply copy the visible text not be
well-formed XML.  Here (and e.g. for "<p></p> not <p />") the '<' should be
replaced with '&lt;'.

Also wrt this example, it's probably misleading to leave unescaped link markup
in the displayed text.  I would suggest simply wrapping the entire exact
SamplePage.html document (which itself is well-formed) in a CDATA-section in
your source HTML, then all the above problems will go away.
