HTML defines both (although not completely), but only for compliant
web pages.  For non-standard stuff like "<b><i>bla</b> bla</i>" it
defines neither, and Postel's principle does not tell us what to
display in this case; it does tell use that the browser should not
just report an error message when it encounters such a page, though.
