[closure-devel] How to disable <span class="illegalstyle"> from being generated?

I'm afraid the answer is "change chtml".

The Closure HTML project is, at the moment, mainly a reusable form of
Closure (the web browser)'s parser.

"Reusable" because it's a self-contained library, but indeed sometimes a
little limited in its reusability because there are assumptions about
how to repair non-DTD-conforming markup -- assumptions that either go
too far or do the wrong thing entirely.

Personally I'd like to see two different modes:

  1. repair HTML exactly like mainstream browsers do

     (I think this is equivalent to implementing "HTML5" instead of
     trying to follow the HTML4 transitional DTD.)

  2. ignore schema compliance issues entirely

     (plain tag soup parsing)

In that respect I'd "take patches", but I'm currently not working on
those patches myself.
