It's basically a proper tree type grammar with a set of error recovery rules for producing a renderable tree from almost every invalid input. Maybe what I should have offered is three categories: - tag soup; - HTML5 with *no* parse errors; - SGML based. I'm assuming that HTML5 *with* parse errors can produce all the productions allowed by tag soup. In a quick scan, I couldn't tell what, if any difference there is between HTML5 without parse errors and SGML based. In any case, it seems to be quite close to SGML based.
