I think it is. It means we're not duplicating work that has already
been done and debugged.

Not quite. Most of the incorrect HTML files are incorrect because of
missing end tags and incorrect nesting. Both can be handled and
corrected without knowing anything else about the structure. I want to
avoid cluttering the parser for correct HTML with tricks and guessing
algorithms. Maybe look at it as a two-stage parser (both could be done
by PCCTS).
