hah. That might work for Google, but not for anyone else.

Not that I completely agree with this quote, myself. It's responsible
for the majority of the damage to the web caused by Internet Explorer,
for a start.
My own opinion is that if what you send isn't even compliant to the
standard, it should be dropped flat and an error spewed back. If web
browser developers had done this from the start, we wouldn't have a
single malformed web page in the wild today because the person who
created the page would have been unable to test it in their own browser.
