If malformed/ bad HTML must be handled then it is no more bad/malformed, it's a part of the standard. IMHO plain stupid. Btw there is the same thing for RDF specs on how to handle bad literals and other stuff.

+1 for the "toy immutable functions". Immutability everywhere is the current hype, but like mutability it has its advantages/disadvantages. The main consideration is the tradeof between performance(best for mutability) vs eas
