Actually, they are just web pages. EPUB readers, however, are not web browsers. They're XHTML-only paged media viewers, which means that should behave like a web browser would if you were printing to a PDF (with a very small paper size).
The fact that they're XHTML-only means that they explode if tags don't match, but so do web browsers if you provide XHTML content with unbalanced tags.
