running Windows XP and IE8 the behaviour is better. I still get an error message in line 2,

Line: 2
Error: Unknown runtime error

 but the screen shot is as follows. This screen is much more informative than the one in IE9.

The doctype and html element are not broken. XML and the older SGML rules permit tags to be written over many lines. This issue is more like about an insert of invalid markup/nodes into another node. There have been mistakes in the past where code inserted block elements into a <p> or non-table structure into a table.
