Indeed.  Here's a proposal for the interface:

b = HTMLBuilder( ignore_mismatched_end_tags = 1 )

	(This would be implemented by allowing keyword arguments to
the constructor, and saving a copy of the keyword dictionary.  That
allows for new options in future, and saves the constructor from
having lots of lines like 
self.ignore_mismatched_end_tags = ignore_mismatched_end_tags .)

	The default behaviour would be to raise an exception, which is
in keeping with Python's general philosophy.

Athens built the Acropolis. Corinth was a commercial city, interested in
purely materialistic things. Today we admire Athens, visit it, preserve the
old temples, yet we hardly ever set foot in Corinth.
