[[
The Parsing section of this specification defines in some detail the required
processing for valid and also for invalid documents. It is a little more
tolerant to author errors than the syntax allows, so as to reject less
documents and provide for extensibility. However, authors must not take
advantage of it. Only documents that follow the Syntax specification are valid.

"However, authors must not take advantage of it."

This requirement make no sense. I suggest it is dropped.
