Regarding "fixing" libxmlj: I've considered adding HTML parsing support 
with implementations for the HTML DOM, however there is absolutely no 
facility in JAXP as far as I can see to declare that an input source is 
intended to be HTML (or anything other than XML). I haven't seen 
support for parsing HTML in any other JAXP parser either.

I am happy to add additional functionality to GnomeDocumentBuilder if 
nobody has any more generic solution. However, in the short term it may 
be more sensible to use an HTML parser for gjdoc - I can recommend John 
Cowan's TagSoup:
