I think the question is whether the parser must be capable of recognising nicely-formed µXML as such and marking it with some sort of Jolly Decent Actually (JDA) flag. If yes (as in XML) then we add a burden on implementations. If no, then we add a burden on users: users of the API and parser, and users of the format. Since the µXML spec itself allows error correction but does not say what that means, it's reasonably to suppose that it will vary between implementations. Since people can generally only test their data using an implementation, the differences will cause interoperability problems. So widely available non-correcting, or alternatively JDA-announcing, parsers will be needed.
