I'm not clear on when you see the error. Is it when the offending second
element is seen, or when the container element is closed?  Either is a plausible
implementation strategy.  Expecting an error to be fired *before* the
previous element is ended is probably too much to ask.

A possibility: create the object in memory when you see the initial
endElement, check for validity when you see the container's endElement.
