Non-document based browser

I'm considering using Gecko/Mozilla as a base for an app I'm working on, since I need both cross-platform porting and HTML rendering.

Trouble is I need it to work with a continuous stream of data, not discrete documents. So for example there may be multiple <head> blocks, or clashing element ids (say an <a name="foo"> at one point, then repeated exactly a bit further down).

I need something which can deal with that sensibly and without errors -- ie, whenever it finds a clash, it just "forgets" about the earlier stuff and just uses the most recent one. Similarly, you almost never change pages, the data just keeps coming in until eventually it "falls off the top" of the scrollback history. In other words, you will *never* get an </html> (and only in exceptionally rare cases a </body>).

My questions is: can Gecko/Mozilla do that? If not, can anyone recommend an alternative?
