A generic (even if potentially slow) solution to the parsing issues
would be tweaking the DOM glue code of http://livedom.validator.nu/ to
work in IE (perhaps with SVG Web for SVG subtrees and Math Player for
MathML subtrees), adding a way for the tree builder to attach to an
existing DOM (go straight to "in body" and initialize the stack and
the head pointer from head, body and html from the tree constructed by
the browser's native parser) and conditionally (if an HTML5 parser
isn't detected by examining the node produced by
document.write("<svg></svg>");) doing document.write("<plaintext>")
and then handing the contents of the plaintext element to the GWT-
compiled JS version of the V.nu parser.
