Description

People are using xhtml because they expect to get a Yellow Screen of Death if code is wrong are interested in good code quality.

I followed the XML5 discussion and saw arguments to use its error corrections for broken RSS feeds and broken SVG inside html and such things, which would be useful for the lax html world.

Currently, there can't be broken xhtml files on the web because Firefox is strict.
Servo would make incentives to write bad xhtml, if the current behavior would be kept (to conceal faults).
