DOMDocument thinks "<html></html>" has two childNodes?

I'm trying to mess around with PHP5's DOM functions and have run into
something that confuses me:

<?php
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHTML('<htm l></html>');

echo $dom->childNodes->length;
?>

Why is the output 2? Shouldn't it be 1?

print get_class($dom->childNodes->item(0)) . "<br>";

The only browser I have encountered that supports <colgroup><col class="behold"></colgroup> to apply a CSS style to a whole column, is Microsoft Internet Explorer. I have been told it SHOULD NOT do so, since this is not part of the specification. How then to you apply styles to entire columns? Surely you don't have to write <td class="behold"on every row item.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
