Even an annotated HTML DOM (using the data-* attributes for example)
could be used. We might actually be able to off-load most
context-sensitive parts of the parsing process to the browser's HTML
parser by feeding it pre-tokenized HTML tag soup, for example via
.innerHTML.
I'm not sure what you are proposing -- are you suggesting that we let
some anomalies persist and let the browser take care of it?
IMO we should be shooting for server APIs that give users very clean
data structures, so they can transform them however they like. HTML
should be just one of the output formats.
