Before now I've explicitly reduced the size of my HTML docs (nothing critical/production facing, all passion projects) by removing certain HTML tags (e.g DOCTYPE, closing tags, etc) because I know modern browsers will still render them correctly.

This means there are miniscule savings from a bandwidth serving perspective. I wonder what the trade off is between the HTTP call and document parse/paint.

E.g is it correct to assume the browser will parse/paint the HTML content - fixing incorrectly closed tags on the fly faster than the few milliseconds more it would take to serve fixed-point HTML from the server?
