It sounds like you have some HTML input (which is not XML) and you are
trying to process it as XML in order to turn it into XHTML (which is
XML).

If this is the case, then the good news is that there is a utility on
the W3C site called tidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/) which
is designed to clean up HTML and turn it into XML.

If your input isn't HTML, and it certainly isn't well-formed XML (and I
don't think it's SGML - any confirmations?) then there's no point trying
to use an XML parser on it. You may be better off cleaning it up in Perl
or some other text processing tool.
