I truly believe that we would be years ahead in terms of web technology if the browsers had just said from the start "yeh this code doesnt make sense, Im not fixing it"
imagine we served websites with valid xml, every language around would have a wealth of tools available available that they already use, the term "screenscraper" wouldnt even be mentioned on the web because reading an xml file is such a trivial task, a whole bunch of apis would actually just be replaced by the actual websites they are duplicating data from
that has to be worth having to close your tags
screw dtd's and all the other bloat around xml, I just want an easy to parse, unambigous data format to transfer stuff.
