Summary: wxHTML doesn't support broken markup :-)

I've just been looking at a pile of pages with broken tables, mostly
typos leading to 'unbalanced' <td> and <tr> tags..

eg. mistakenly ending a table with </td><tr></table>

Unfortunately this seems to be often not picked up by authors who don't
lint check their pages since most (all?) the common browsers actually
display this correctly even if it is obviously wrong.

wxHTML though displays such pages in their fully broken glory :-)

Broken markup will be supported by wxHTML2 and native
browsers engines, but this won't be ever "fixed" (broken?) in
wxHTML itself.
