From a marketing point of view, early products and late products tend to differ. For early products, time to market, and development costs, are critical, and the preference tends to be to implement code which doesn't check for anything except valid constructs (which is where acceptance of tag soup in HTML came frome). For late products, active error recovery becomes an area of competition, and then the objective is to handle real life errors in the way least likely to result in the viewer realisng that the author made an error.
