Those are authoring requirements (i.e. a document violating these is
nonconforming), not implementation requirements (there is no requirement to
enforce these conditions at parse time or otherwise.

The only error corrections that should be done are those required by section
9.2:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#parsing

Please keep this in mind when implementing additional new HTML elements. The
content models in general do *not* result in parser behavior changes.

Please resubmit with the parser changes removed and with correct tests.
