  Saxon will not need to change.  The XML parser(s) it uses,
yes, but not Saxon.  Not even the serializer, until the XSLT
REC changes.

  Of course, if you change the definition of what is
well-formed, you have to change the parsers.  But because
the Infoset remainds unchanged, the users of the parsers
don't need to change (for example Perl scripts, Shell
scripts, etc.).
