There's something you're overlooking in the above. If a compiler was smart enough to know what to do with your erroneous code and compile in spite of the errors, that would be the end of programming and programmers.

I'm pretty sure that comment was sarcasm. It's a complaint about how HTML5 isn't just specified to fail on bad input, but instead gives rules on how to recover.
