This shows how well browsers handle bad HTML.

It always surprises me when I make a mistake in my code and I don't notice it until I next few the source because the browser has understood what I was meant to do.

I guess although this is good for the end user it isn't always a great thing for developers learning HTML if they're able to write bad HTML without ever knowing they're doing something wrong.

It's not that hard to handle something like an <img> tag with no alt attribute.
