I suspect this may be because a lot of people don't realize how
broken the Infoset is. I didn't, until just a couple of weeks ago
when John Cowan pointed out to me that there was nothing in the spec
that in any way mandated well-formedness. I just sort of always
assumed it was there somehow. I think a lot of other people may be in
the same boat.
