Hmm - did I say that? Well, it depends on the class of error.
Keeping a tree structure can help you realize when tags are
mis-matched and tell you which ones probably need to be closed. This
will not match Netscape's behavior, which is to keep a couple of
stacks; start-tags for elements of a class (like the font-changing
class) will push formatting on the stack, and any end tag for that
class will pop the stack.
So they are maintaining a pallette of classes and the language
tokens map to operations on the pallette. Rather than a parse
stack, we have a [semilattice?] of states of the class pallette.
Operations on structure and finish classes are mostly disjoint.
I suspect that this is a more friendly paradigm for achieving the
Web Access Initiative objectives of graceful polymorphism that
parse trees.
