  this is broken beyond what I feel should be handled by libxml HTML
parser, they have script and style started first, then put the DOCTYPE there
open html and head tags, then script again and two more scripts, 
close the head and at that point libxml surrender,

  point them to an HTML validator, sorry, I won't fix this ! Maybe
some kind soul can spend time on trying to cope with this, I may even
take the patch but I won't try to fix this, this is ugly.
