HTML::Parser should provide a parsing mode that is fully compliant with HTML 5,
section 9.2 ("Parsing HTML documents",
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#parsing).

As this will probably differ significantly from current behaviour, it should be
optional.

HTML::Tagset with v5 support is being worked on: libwww-perl/HTML-Tagset#2

@castaway is there anything else to be done in HTML::Parser once that PR has been merged?

What about the HTML 5 entities? I think there are some new ones, right? Should HTML::Entities support them, perhaps with an option? Or just by default even.

Refer to https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::HTML5::Entities.

@esabol I think if someone wanted to take that on, that would be great.

Yer asking the hard questions.. I don't think so...
