For comparison, consider XML. XML’s specified behavior is to render nothing when the document contains unbalanced tags. Unbalanced XML tags are _broken_.

Unbalanced HTML tags render exactly the same way in all browsers. Unbalanced HTML tags are “invalid” but _not_ broken.

P.S. I’ve discovered that I can use `<blockquote>` instead of `[quote]` and get back great-looking one-line quotations.

```markdown
[quote]this is broken[/quote]
<blockquote>but this works great</blockquote>

```

But I still don’t really care about [quote]. I care about spoilers.
