I take it you aren't talking about a validator, but something that 
rewrites markup to valid XHTML?
Using a standard XML parser on the content with a modified XHTML DTD 
(that allows the html, body, head, title tags to be missing) should find 
any errors that might be, but actually guessing what the user intended 
to do is probably challenging.
Is that what you are planning to do?
