Quoting from the above link;
"Well-formed should be a category of minority interest to
editor-application developers, not something for public usage."
On the face of it, this appears to be a very sweeping statement.
Granted, well-formedness covers a range of things from the basic
to the (for some) esoteric, but I would have thought things like
the redundancy inherent in XML's tag structure is of use to more
applications that simply editors.
What is the argument behind this statement?
