When you lower the standards, the standards get lower still.
It's a corollary to Jahn's law: "Human beings will tend to use 
any system to its maximum capacity".  

IOW, if you design a browser to accomodate a 20% error rate, 
designers will allow pages to pass with 25% bad code.  If you 
change to 25%, the designers will allow 30%.  It's a negative 
feedback loop. 

Browsers should allow less, not more, margins of error.  Or in a 
very short time we will need computers with 20Gig processors and 
100 terrabytes of RAM simply to display a webpage.
