There is no such thing as "invalid XML".

So if you make a typo that's a syntax error in Perl, it's no longer Perl? Although I understand what you're saying, I don't agree with how you said it. 

"He's not a patient person." = "He's an impatient person."
"This is not valid XML."     = "This is invalid XML."

It's like, say you define a "table" as "a thing for sitting stuff on that has four legs". Then you find another thing that you could sit stuff on, except one of the legs is missing. Wouldn't you say that it's a broken table rather than say that broken tables don't exist?
