There's a lot more than that.
<body><body></body></body> is not valid XHTML for example.
<input type="text" name="foo"></input> is not valid XHTML either.
You have to be careful about block-level and inline elements.
etc. etc...
Besides, you cannot use an XML parser to parse HTML. You have to use
something like HTML::TreeBuilder instead. Part of HTML::Tree, excellent
module IMHO.
