It's worth looking at the HTML5 specification:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/

Section 8, "The HTML Syntax", is the relevant bit. It still needs some 
work, but it's actively being developed and is a good starting point for 
figuring out how to treat messy real world HTML and hopefully get 
similar behaviour to web browsers.

Best regards,
