Interesting. Good question. Dunno. Definitely the two should be consistent, but which should it be?

It seems the spec has been like this since srcdoc was first added.

https://html5.org/r/4619

Current implementations parse as HTML.

innerHTML uses XML parsing in XML documents.

I don't have a strong opinion either way. I would have expected XML parsing, though.
