This is correct, but SP is an SGML parser and so expects you to follow
the SGML rules, rather than the XML ones. You can still parse XML
documents, but you need to do it the SGML way. This document shows how:

If you're just looking for a C/C++ parser with validation there are
many others, which you can find at:

There doesn't need to be, unless he's using some special character
encoding that needs to be declared.
