I added bgsound to the elements that do not close head.

I have now implemented the scheme I previously described. I have also 
implemented attribute value case folding based on solely the attribute 
name (ie. the element on which the attribute appears is not 
considered). I tweaked the permissible unquoted attribute values to 
match HTML 4.01.

The new version of my experimental parser is now runnable as part of
