Sorry for confusing you.  I mean that I have not tested them yet.

I don't know how you have implemented this process, but the spec says:

>The decryptor is NOT REQUIRED to perform validation on the serialized XML.

and also says:

>The decryptor is NOT REQUIRED to perform validation on the result of this
replacement operation.

and hence I don't think that the implementation has to fail to decrypt this
example.  In that sense, I asked this question.  Note, I don't say that
your implementation is wrong.  Such validation would be value-add.
