The fix for this turned out to be simple but I can't land it myself since
it's in the htmlparser code, which isn't part of the validator code proper.

So I've opened another bug for it with a patch -

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1096172

As soon as that patch lands, I'll push it out to the W3C validator and then
post a follow-up on the thread here.
