Actually... I'm opposed. If it were up to me to decide, I would reject
all faulty files outright (except perhaps in a special "recovery
mode"). Breaking syntax implies losing semantics. Excessive tolerance
has brought us this tag-soup mess of a Web. In the long run, covering
up errors makes everybody's lives more painful.
