Comment:

 Patch could be a simple as adding a `?` to the regexp.

 The main thing we need to discuss is, what are we going to break with this
 patch?

 Can there be any downside to not texturizing the guts of broken HTML?

 Is not texturizing the correct behavior?  Should we continue to texturize
 and rather than ignore the unclosed `<` convert it to a `<` instead?
