For example HTML has quite a few special cases around self/implicit closing elements and many browsers/websites around did not fully agree on how that should work. So not only do you have to implement and verify these closing rules, you have to gracefully handle every page that gets them wrong either because past browsers got them wrong or because these special cases are so pointless that no one sane actually memorizes them.
