We're almost at that stage with HTML already.

I'm thinking that a multi-pass parser:

1. Is this sane HTML5 markup? I'll eat that.

2. Is this a borked-but-manageable variant? Strip the cruft.

3. Is this Beyond All Hope? Just dump it as ASCII. It'll be blockquoted in reply.

HTML is no longer a peresistent, stable, or universal interchange format.
