I think the spec needs changing to allow this use case, personally... Being able to send wf-but-ns-illformed documents would not make much sense if you couldn't also read them back in, and the odds that some wf-but-ns-illformed has been created deliberately for use with XHR as opposed to being created due to some mistake, seem too low to make supporting this worthwhile. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
