There's also an issue with: <!doctype html> foo <html> not producing any parse error, because the <html> is the first start tag token (at least under my interpretation) and therefore is considered valid. Handling <html> specially in the root element phase seems like a reasonable way of fixing this. -- Philip Taylor excors at gmail.com
