Yes! That is exactly why I posted this mail: this issue (and the other I
referred to) should be in the tracker to warn us...

Minor issue:-)

Actually, I was wondering about that myself, but the same reference[4]
also says:

"for which embedding between an arbitrary XML start tag and an end tag
yields a document conforming to XML Namespaces [XML-NS]"

which somehow means that the fragment you have there, *if* embedded in
some start and end tag, would yield a proper portion.

There is also a note that says:

"XML values can be thought of as the [XML-INFOSET] or the [XPATH]
nodeset corresponding to the lexical form, with an appropriate equality
function."

ie, it is a node set which, in this case, would include a text node, the
sup node (with one child being the '2') and another text node.

B.t.w.:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20040210/#section-Syntax-XML-literals

includes an example which has the same characteristics: no 'top leve'
xml element.

Bottom line: I do not think *that* is the problem.
