[replying to several people at once here really] Yes, I hope so. But for that to work, the parser needs to be able to signal that it performed such a recovery action, or that the input was not well-formed XML. I don't want to see broader parsers that accept both wf and non-wf XML but can't tell if the input was wf, and can't report any warnings, because that is likely to hurt users and to damage XML's interoperability. I don't care about the wording in the charter, except I'd rather see a must than a should, because getting it right e.g. with an HTML 5 style parser is likely to need a lot of care, and it's likely to be the _only_ style of parser people use for testing their documents.
