I haven't seen any official list, although I have seen a very nice
paper written by someone at Ohio State University (I think) that
pointed out most of the problems I was aware of.  I'll see if I
can dig out a copy and post some or all of it.  If not, I'd be
glad to try to remember the problems, but it's been a couple of
years since I worked on an SGML parser so my memory is apt to be
a bit faulty.
