That works, but seems like an overly academic distinction. WebKit clearly knows that this is MathML and how to render this. We should just render it. Throw an error in the console or in a validator, but don't prevent the content from rendering.

Possibly not, but that's a new distinction in HTML5. I can change the DOCTYPE of the test case to XHTML and make it valid.

Most of the Web is invalid tag soup and WebKit renders that fine. Namespaced MathML in HTML is a pretty clear case where we can improve the output even if the input isn't exactly what was anticipated.
