Re: [whatwg] html start tag token in the root element phase

There's also an issue with:

  !doctype html
  foo
  html

not producing any parse error, because the html is the first start
tag token (at least under my interpretation) and therefore is
considered valid. Handling html specially in the root element phase
seems like a reasonable way of fixing this.
