So I've been trying to get my head around this, and reading the HTML5
parsing spec. [1]. I don't by any means understand it all as yet, but
I don't see any basis for what you say above. Could you give an
example HTML5 document where repair requires removing elements? All
the fixups I see in the parsing spec. are insertions (or ignoring of
unexpected end tags). . .
Thanks,
