Within the context of parsing HTML as XML, there's not really much that
can be done. I suppose you could pre-proces the HTML to make it
XML-complaitn, but that's probably more trouble than I would go to.
You're not going to find an XML parser that allows for most HTML,
because if such a parser did exist, it would be a broken XML parser. :)
The only kind of HTML you can reliably parse with XML parsers is the
XHTML variety (Which is simply HTML4, made XML-compliant)
