The problem used to be that each browser/engine would do its own flavour 
of error correction/remediation to turn broken markup into a sensible 
DOM. This problem has now - mostly - gone away since HTML5 defines in 
much more detail how browsers should parse markup, including broken 
markup. As such, I would say the requirement of this SC should focus on 
the generated DOM itself rather than the source that is sent.
