r2730 (http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=2729&to=2730) changed </body> and </html> handling in the early modes in a way that is inconsistent with Gecko/WebKit/Presto. Consider: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Ca%3E%3Ctable%3E%3Ca%3Eb http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!doctype%20html%3E%3Chtml%3E%3C%2Fhtml%3E%3C!--%20foo%20--%3E (Test cases from html5lib, http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/source/browse/trunk/LICENSE)
I don't understand the relevance of the first test case.
...and the second test case seems to show bugs in other browsers; why would we want to do something different than what the spec says here? I don't understand what is being requested here.
