Indeed. Very well put.

Then again, if you're parsing it with something less than a full XML parser, you're probably going to be parsing a small, highly predictable, family of XML data streams, rather than actually parsing XML as XML.

At least, that's what I've done, where XML data streams been shoved down my throat with no other meaningful alternative offered.
