Sounds like a cop-out.

1. What is the point of parsing HTML if it is treated like dumb XML without an 
intelligent spec-aware layer on top of that (at least optionally)?

2. What alternative do people have to libXML if they want to generate a “real” 
DOM from HTML?

3. Why document an “HTML” mode if it isn’t really parsing HTML? Per HTML, there 
really ought to be a TBODY node, no ifs, ands, or buts.
