It'd be _really_ nice to do real html support, but that's a huge project, one I
believe is being covered over on mozilla.org :-)
Seriously, HTML before XHTML was a mess. It's not well formed, developers wrote
all sorts of crappy code <b><i>foo</b></i>.
XHTML is much easier to handle, and because I have no dreams of rewriting
Gecko, it'll have to do for now. We only claim to import XHTML, not HTML.
