I'm not sure how feasible it will be to fix this at all.  Eww relies on
libxml for parsing, and it's not as flexible as a typical web browser:

    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert "<html>
      <body>abc <- xyz<body>
    </html>")
      (libxml-parse-html-region (point-min) (point-max)))

    ;=> (html nil (body nil "abc\n"))
