It also has some constraints that are not enforceable by XML validators but are enforced by HTML SGML validators. This is because of limitations in the XML content models. Also, as I pointed out before, if you take an HTML document with omitted start and end tags and run it through sgmlnorm (from the SP tools used by the W3C validator), you get out a document with omitted tags made explicit. If this displays correctly on your favourite tag soup browser, you can use it instead of the original document. If it doesn't, the browser is broken, but the output version should still be more predictable.
