I *think* that is motivated by general principles of interoperability and clarity (‘intentionally malformed output that looks like XML’ will surely be described as XML by people who don’t care about the details), and not *solely* by the fact that for my processor to produce non-XML output would be tedious. I think if someone knows what they are doing well enough to be taken seriously when they say they want malformed output, they probably know how to make a well-formed version of their data that captures the information they want.
