Not neccessarily. I take Tim's point about designing these things in 
(bugs, optimizations, features, depending on your perspective). It 
makes sense to look at this in terms of cost/benefit. I doubt that 
calling something that knowingly doesn't process XML an XML 
processor (and never can, by design) is the right side of the curve, 
arguments based around a sorites notwithstanding.

Better add test compatability toolkits to that feature negotiation 
idea. Anyone know if the next version of XML will comes test cases?
