I can't think of any reason why not closing 100 tags would be of
benefit to anyone (well, aside from bandwidth trolls!). Of course an
author should fix that. But as a browser I don't believe it should
have any limit to the types of errors it should attempt to overcome in
order to finally render a page - certainly not something as trivial as
a fixed number of unclosed tags.

For me, personally, I wouldn't recommend any software that can't cope
with broken input - that's a flaw, not a political statement.
