Re: [xsl] XSLT 3.0 processor accepting non well-formed XML inputs

Dear Wendell,

Thank you for making me aware of this enlightening and entertaining 
paper*! I'm sure I will quote it often, going forward, in conversations 
about XML, rules, pedantry, etc.

* The term "paper", which actually refers to an HTML page, is an example 
for a change of rules, in this case the rather rigid conventions 
regarding conferences and their proceedings, that was agreed upon by all 
stakeholders: conference organizers, paper submitters, and readers 
alike. All are fine with the fact that there are no on-paper submissions 
and no printed proceedings (not even in the paper-imitating PDF format). 
However, they continue to call it "paper" which is, taken literally, 
wrong. So words can acquire additional, figurative meanings if the 
community agrees on it, and we should allow other rules to evolve just 
like language does.

P.S.: The rules for loading the dishwasher are non-negotiable.
