When I wrote a validating parser I specifically checked for
this and reported an error, per my understanding of the spec.
However, the spec says what the spec says not what I think
I meant when I helped write it :) - so maybe an erratum
is in order here. It does seem to me that since the above
can't possibly be right in any sensible world, signaling
an error is useful... and when there is a lack of clarity,
doing the useful thing is often a useful discriminant. -Tim
