The proposed patch correct this behaviour by detecting whether the document is HTML5, then suppressing the close-anchor action in CLOSE_A if it's an HTML5 document. A new macro handles the HTML5-specific cases where anchors are not already always closed. This also fixes a bug in the tokenizing FSM in etc.c that prevented the !doctype element from being recognized; the fix is necessary because HTML5 detection depends on checking the !doctype element.

In HTML5 anchors should not be closed when encountering divs, for example, but should be closed when encountering buttons, for example.
