Re: New TAG issue: TagSoupIntegration-54

/ Elliotte Harold <elharo@metalab.unc.edu> was heard to say:
| The W3C define a process by which
| *any* arbitrary byte stream can be
| converted into valid XHTML, no matter
| what.

This is the direction my thoughts have been going as well. I believe
all the major browsers expose the HTML that they are displaying as a
DOM tree for scripting and styling. The DOM tree, by its very nature,
is well formed, so each browser is, in fact, employing some algorithm
for converting tag soup into a tree.

If they all employed the same algorithm, and the algorithm was
documented, we could at least have interoperable understanding of what
the tag soup "means".
