I'm with you all the way on this. A parser which accepts non-well-formed XML is not an XML parser, since the XML spec requires reporting a fatal error. It is really easy to test these things. Modern browsers have good XML parsers, so put your test case in a "test.xml" file and open it in a browser. If it isn't well-formed, you'll get an error. Here is my test XML: <root attribute="<"/> Here is what Firefox 3.0.3 says about that: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///Users/wunderwood/Desktop/test.xml Line Number 1, Column 18: <root attribute="<"/> -----------------^ wunder
