I feel you.
The whole HTML concept is soooo losely defined and "out of control"
that such horrible stories are widespread.
As a former developer (back in the days, 25 years ago when everything
was much more defined and strict), I understand the frustration with
this mess. 

Why in the world you'd need to write the parser!? 
They have all data already structured, so they only need to publish
them properly. No big deal, really. But, someone have to make the
decision about it.
