Most of the list /can/ be implemented.  I believe what Tina was asking 
was which features of HTML cannot be implemented because they are either 
theoretically impossible (self contradictory, halting problem, etc.) or 
because they would have performance problems, or an inordinately high 
implementation cost.

I'm sure she knows that the majority of web sites would break if used 
with a user agent that fully validated against the specification.

(I suspect that she was not putting a high priority on the features that 
are only implied by the formal SGML definition, rather than the narrative.)
