Before I respond to this thread, I want to clarify two things: 1) I'm not arguing for or against draconian error handling. I think it has a place (XML), I understand the drawbacks (Maciej laid out the main ones quite well). 2) I have a tremendous amount of respect for Maciej, and the others who've been espousing defining exhaustive error-handling behavior in the spec.
