Just tried with git master (d7958b21e7f8c447a26bb2436f08402b2c308be4), it has same behavior.
Comment 2 strk 2011-04-12 12:05:11 UTC 
Arnald Le Hors, co-author of the W3C's strict.dtd sayd:

> HTML4 is defined as an SGML application not as XML.                            

So maybe this is an invalid bug ?
Comment 3 Nick Wellnhofer 2017-06-13 23:44:08 UTC 
libxml2 doesn't support SGML DTDs.
