in reply to repairing a broken xml using LibXML

I have noticed the recover flag...

I don't think the recover option is meant to fix/ignore arbitrary garbage input. The docs say (emphasis added):

"The recover mode helps to recover documents that are almost well-formed very efficiently. That is for example a document that forgets to close the document tag (or any other tag inside the document). The recover mode of XML::LibXML has problems restoring documents that are more like well balanced chunks."

    In my past experience with these broken xml files it seems that the beginning of the namespace always gets clipped some. Is there a way to repair the namespace?

    Update I was wrong about what gets clipped. Its actually the XML version tag (if thats what its called, I have no idea);<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.
