That's not the main point. Very few sites come even near to being valid.
90 % of the bloat (and the same share of the malware entry points) come
from trying to second guess, whatever the author might have meant by the
utter nonsense he wrote.

The world would be a much better place now, if early on all browser
vendors had agreed *not* to guess but simply display nothing but "syntax
error" on all non-valid pages.

Alas, that chance is long gone and so far away I find it hard to even
dream.
