Yes, Ezio’s commits on html.parser/HTMLParser in the last months have been following the HTML5 spec. Ezio, RDM and I have had some discussion about that on some bug reports, IRC and private mail and reached the agreement to do the useful thing, that is follow HTML5 and not pretend that the stdlib parser is strict or validating. Ezio was thinking about a blog.python.org post to advertise this. Regards
