That's why we like XML better than SGML.  ;-)  This problem isn't the
XML parser; that ones doing fine (it's Expat ;).  The input is being
treated as HTML intentionally (because that's what the content type
is).

For XML, yes.  We have SGML (using HTML).

Perhaps there's something in the SGML Handbook or the ISO spec., but
those are outside my price range the last time I checked.

You got an exception from the Python HTMLParser module from a browser?
 That's pretty interesting!
