There are two paragraphs at the end of section 8.2.1.1:
# When an end tag token is emitted, the content model
# flag must be switched to the PCDATA state.
#
# When an end tag token is emitted with attributes,
# that is a parse error.
They don't seem to make sense in context; are they editing artefacts?
Also, the "anything else" (ie. named entities as opposed to character
references) case states:
# Consume the maximum number of characters possible,
# with the consumed characters case-sensitively matching
# one of the identifiers in the first column of the
# entities table.
It isn't quite clear from this what constitutes a consumable character in
this context. When looking at the table it's reasonably obvious that the
range is [A-Za-z], but it might be helpful to have it stated in the main
text.
