To parse it for well-formedness, no. To do anything
past that, yes. It will be in the documentation. As
Jonathan said, progress is made in the semantic world
by having a precise formal kind of documentation for
the namespace. Umm... from genCoding to Document
Type Definitions. We seem to be deja re-viewing.
Choose:
NOTATION - tell me where the processor for this
element is (inline)
MIME - give me a name for finding a processor for
this document is (objects are ortho-docs)
namespace - tell me where to find the instructions
for building a processor for this guy is, or for
finding the directions to where the processor for
this guy is, or where the processor is and
I can figure out the scope of this guy if you
did it all correctly
SGML just conflated well-formedness and validity.
Otherwise, XML works the same way as SGML. Both
depend on external documents ultimately.

We can reasonably conclude that the basic rule differentiating
XML from SGML is that *no external document* is needed to process an XML
document.
