How would making it better-formed break backward compatibility, in 
practice? We can be liberal in what we accept, conservative in what we 
output.

Any patches to improve our output are always welcome - I know we're far 
from perfect in the content we output sometimes but that doesn't mean we 
shouldn't strive to be.

BTW Movable Type has a well-working WXR importer (or so they claim) so 
obviously it isn't impossible to make something else work from it.
