Overriding/subclassing specific parts of an XML parser isn't something people *in general* can do. So it may have worked for you, but it won't for many others.

If it can't be done by most developers, I'd suggest that they take a look at their tools and query their vendors. Library developers rarely get everything "perfect" enough on their own.

A perfect XML parser is one that accepts wellformed documents and rejects all others. So from that point of view, for instance MSXML is perfect (or close to that).

Sigh. Now, when you stumble across a non-technical end user who wants to read some content, try that explanation.
