For example, an HTML document using XHTML syntax in the HEAD section: <meta ..... /> In HTML strict, that's one error. But in Transitional, the / terminates the meta element, and the > then becomes (valid) loose body text, implying </head><body> so the remainder of the HEAD and the <body> generate a long cascade of essentially-bogus errors. -- Nick Kew
