The definition of the parsing algorithm along with the syntax-independent requirements severely limits what these criteria could be; such criteria could only define that some documents are non-conforming even though they parse into conforming trees without generating parse errors; doing anything beyond that would contradict the rest of the draft. It is actually possible to construct a document that parses into a conforming tree without generating parse errors that does not con- form to the requirements in section 9.1, odd as that may seem. >Such a document is impossible to construct declaratively with the HTML >format, it can only be declaratively constructed with the XML syntax.
