This is getting pretty ridiculous.  IE is not an XML parser, period.
The XML spec has nothing to say about what the correct behavior of a
browser is, and CERTAINLY does not make this strange distinction between
read-only and edit-capable that you seem to be implying.  That is like
saying that the UNIX 'cat' command is broke because it does not fatally
error when encountering a paragraph marker in a text stream that has an
XML declaration at the beginning, because 'cat' "does not provide any
mechanism for correction."
