same parse trees as other html5 parsers yes, but radically different 
trees than an XML parser would produce from the same markup.

I've no complaint with html5 having defined fixup rules to give 
consistent error recovery from overlapping markup and other horrors, but 
I think the fact that it parses well formed XML and produces different 
trees is just wrong.
