 POC patch coming up. It might be good for some future work, but the
 changes in the unit tests show why this patch is insufficient.

 One minor thing: current code treats unclosed comments differently from
 other unclosed html tags. Unclosed comments already have a unit test: they
 are treated as comments. Unclosed html tags are treated as non-html text,
 and I added a unit test documenting that. Not worth worrying about, it
 just affects whether the broken html tag is texturized or not. The browser
 will hide it in either case. I just added the test to show the POC can do
 the same thing.
