It seems to me reasonable that we require that the processor establish that 
the grammar is conforming first.
It is true that it says "A conforming processor must not accept 
non-conforming grammars." Maybe that is sufficient.




So:


"For any supplied grammar and input, processors must:


* Establish that the grammar is conforming, and report otherwise that it is 
not.
* If the grammar is conforming, parse the input using the grammar, and ..."


We also need to decide what conformance criteria for the processor we want 
to include about non-valid XML names and character content.
This point still holds.
