Why would you want to do this?  I mean, if you care about making your
HTML match the HTML 4.01 spec, why would you want to be able to allow
for non-compliant HTML by "patching" something which isn't broken?

(You actually can't, by the way, as this isn't something that's defined
in a DTD.  But my question is why you would WANT to.  I can't see the
point.)
