I spoke up pointing out that it is indeed through the HTML Specification and more specifically by the HTML DTD.
No, the HTML spec is only authoritative for parsing, as you later point out. The question was about how things are _rendered_.
And clearly HTML is not the spec that describes that, because the mentioned <noscript> tag, at least, is rendered differently from what HTML says.
There is such a Specification, is nice to have and a necessity. I cannot imagine how it could work without the spec stipulating which element is of which default display type.
Oh, well, it'd work like the standard way on the Web. Check what other browsers do. There is no spec for parsing HTML either (HTML 4.01 itself doesn't describe error handling), but browsers must be able to parse malformed HTML. Hixie is writing a spec for that now, but until then there was no such spec.
