It's hilarious that browsers will use loosy goosy parsing on the HTML of a web page but strictly interpret a JPEG to which its img tag refers.
Why? Why do car rentals typically not require cash up front, but hotel rentals universally do? The economics are similar. Sometimes it's simple path dependency. Something is a certain way because it's always been that way and it'd be too expensive to change it now.
At least browsers all use the same loosy goosy HTML parsing now. It was hell on earth when each browser had its own error recovery strategy. In a sense, there is no longer any such thing as an invalid HTML document: every code point sequence has a canonical interpretation now.
