A note about a note - at Balisage I talked about non-well-formed xml on the Web; some 13% of one 40GByte corpus, most of which was RSS or HTML. I concluded that there's not much benefit to error recovery based on this survey, and that it would be better for the Core WG to publish a Note explaining that error recovery *is* already allowed by the XML spec *if* and *only if* there is no claim that the result is in XML - e.g. for a Web browser, an error message to the console, and a testable property in the DOM, would suffice. If we get consensus on this not being an unreasnable thing t odo, I'm willing to edit such a note. If not, the world won't end :) It's OK to discuss it in my absence of course ,or to wait, it's not urgent.
