One needs to understand the purpose of the rule, not get hung up on an over literal interpretation. The purpose is to ensure that a generic XML browser, or a browser for some other XML namespace can create a correct parse tree and use any style sheets. It's also there to ensure that things that fail to parse on one browser fail to parse on all browsers. Incremental rendering is a very desirable property, although very much undervalued by authors, judging by the number of pages that do nothing for a minute then suddenly appear.
