In 'A start tag whose tag name is "select"' perhaps the first step needs to be
somethiing like: "If the current node is an option element then act as if an
end tag with the tag name "option"had been seen." Similar statements in the
same section for the optgroup element is also required. See

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The comments in that WebKit bug seem very confused. Note that once you pass a <select> tag you're no longer "in body", you're "in select", and things parse very differently there. As far as I can tell, the spec is correct. If it's not, then please indicate a specific HTML fragment that you think parses differently than it should.
