Re:  Error and Fatal Error
Your posting seemed to have generated a lot of heat, but very little 
light.  I think a few folks commented on the original question, but it 
was hard to filter out of the other discussion.  My experience is 
exactly yours: although the XML spec seems to leave open the possibility 
of handling nonfatal errors, in practice most XML parsers simply reject 
non-XML documents as soon as they encounter an error of any sort.  I'm 
not sure I can think of even a single example of a non-fatal error 
generated by any real XML parser.  Did I miss one in all the foregoing 
comments?
