We use the HTML parser in NetSurf, a browser (http://netsurf.sourceforge.net/). We're happy with the current behaviour of the parser (which isn't what you describe in your original message in the latest version). I agree that the parser mostly shouldn't alter the document, although the current behaviour of inserting implied html, head, and body is useful. I'd prefer if the parsing was not affected by the Doctype, because it's mostly meaningless on the web.
