Although this isn't really a bug, it would be nice if Moz. compensated for user-errors... After all, forgetting quotes is pretty common.. (my apologies if this has already been reported, I couldn't find it in the bugsearch stuff)

I checked the above URL and the code had been changed so that the META tag was completed with an end quote. Made the following http://www.zapogee.com/~twjordan/test01.html which does not show up blank. It does, however, display the final ">" which seems like a bug on its own.
Yeah I mailed the owner of the page, and she corrected it. Also, that page has (had) the following: <head> <title="foo bar"> </head> That also seems to mess up the page... Anyway, the testpage displays correctly now
compensating for illegal HTML is important, but not our top priority for NS6 RTM. Marking future. Assigning to rickg, who has similar bugs already. Component -> Parser

The <title="Page Title"> bug is reported as bug 48793... There was also a bug recently about an unterminated quote causing a freeze (bug 58455)... don't know if that one is related to this, or not.
Reassigning QA Contact for all open and unverified bugs previously under Lorca's care to Gerardo as per phone conversation this morning.
