Re: [whatwg/xhr] Editorial: pass require well-formed when serializing a Document (PR #413)

This is my interpretation, but maybe I am misunderstanding something from that commit and corresponding tests. The WPT PR https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/5123 for 59c9cd9ae31fc8fafd1c327f2d2a1ca1e88da28f seems to test this behaviour, which all engines pass (now under https://wpt.fyi/results/xhr/send-entity-body-document-bogus.htm?label=experimental&label=master&aligned).

I'm going off of tests here, so there's always the possibility of misinterpreting the results (like I managed in https://github.com/whatwg/xhr/issues/242#issuecomment-6396472226 😅) Not 100% sure what silently eating the exception means, is that not sending anything at all?
