You're right, there is no MUST NOT clause in the Conforming User Agents section of the HTML 4.01 spec.[1] Nor is there one in the XHTML 1 spec.[2] In fact, they're pretty much identical in terms of recovering from elements and attributes they don't understand. The XHTML spec says that it has to parse the document as XML, but doesn't say thou shalt not render if it fails.
