    <thetext>&apos;After head&apos; is now defined to eat all end tags. If the state is &apos;in head&apos; and there&apos;s a stray end tag, subsequently things happen in the &apos;after head&apos; state which means that stuff that does belong in &lt;head&gt; is in error but ends up in &lt;head&gt; anyway. Intuitively, the stray end tag is in error, but normal &lt;head&gt; children after it aren&apos;t.

It might be worthwhile to adjust things so that the stuff that usually belongs in &lt;head&gt; doesn&apos;t emit errors if there was an ignored end tag first.</thetext>

    <thetext>Wait, what? A stray end tag in &quot;in head&quot; is ignored as well. Can you give an example of what you mean?</thetext>
