I really feel the urge to go in to teaspoon mode, bring up some old
90-ies history, talk about tagsoup and quirks mode and the like, not to
mention IE6 workarounds.

But I will desist.

I _will_ say that XML-formed is legal HTML5, and if your texinfo-to-HTML
tool produces well formed XML (which there is no real reason why it
can't) then all browser will get the same internal DOM representation
and there will be no rendering surprises in modern browsers (and few in
old browsers).
