I only see the conformance tests there, not the results.

I don't mind a parser that lets through the occasional document that should
strictly be rejected (e.g. by tolerating a stray zero byte at the end of the
document). The only mainstream parser I refuse absolutely to use or
recommend to anyone is the one that arbitrarily rejects well-formed
documents. But since I don't want to have to defend myself in court, I'm
reluctant to publish its name here - the authors know, because I have told
them.
