Re: [whatwg/dom] Consider more name validation loosening (Issue #1373)

domenic left a comment (whatwg/dom#1373)

Alright, so what remains here is:

- Processing instructions. Since you can't create these with the HTML parser, maybe it's fine to just keep using XML-level validation for them. It's a bit dissatisfying from a layering perspective to have this one strong DOM -> XML naming rules dependency left, but maybe the real sin is that DOM supports processing instructions at all.

- Various historical references to how we don't validate things according to XML rules. We can keep these as-is, or maybe we should roll them into a general discussion at the top of the new name validation section. Something like a sentence or two saying that we have significantly loosened name validation and you shouldn't expect everything created with DOM APIs to follow XML rules or be serializable to XML in a lossless way. @annevk, any thoughts?
