Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported parsing case in the html5-php repository and compare its resulting DOM tree with an HTML5 browser. The issue does not name a source file, test, expected tree, or specific discrepancy, so define the failing behavior and add a regression test before determining what counts as fixed.
