The above method is the way Firefox 1.5.0.1 handles this case.  MSIE 6
currently handles it like Safari does now:  it reads the rest of the document
as if it were the title #text, never finding the </title> tag, then just stops
parsing.

I have a patch for this that works.  I just need to make sure the state of the
tokenizer is reset properly when backing up and reparsing after initially
consuming the rest of the document.
