Great.
That allows us to keep Expat the same, but still allow the application
to raise an error, if the context requires it.

Maybe, but then the meaning of "Well-formedness" becomes ambiguous,
if a parser is allowed to accept such violations in specific circumstances.
Just leave it as it is - a problem of the application domain.
