Is there anything else that stops every HTML5 document from being a

Well, the problem is that they would mean different things. Consider the
following fragment:
<p>
<table>
...
</table>
<p>
In a tree, that would look like:
p
table
And not, as you might expect:
p
table
This problem is actually as simple as:
<!doctype html><foo/>
I suppose there is some subset of HTML5 documents that would mean the same
when processed with an XML processor... I don't really see any value in
imposing restrictions on all HTML5 documents to conform to such a subset
though. Especially as you have to support a much wider variety of
documents anyway.
