[ANN] WFC 38 is out (and a question)

This fragment appears to be a valid, well-formed HTML document but not a
valid nor well formed XML document.

HTML, which has an SGML DTD, allows both the HTML and BODY tags to be
optional. Under XML optional tags are not provided for.

Hence, the normalized HTML document derived from the stream is:

<HTML><BODY><H1>Text</H1> More Text <H2>Less Text</H2></BODY></HTML>

which is also well formed XML.

... Consider the following snippet:
>
> <H1>Text</H1> More Text <H2>Less Text</H2>
>
> Is this valid XML? " More Text " is orphaned.
