Yes. Even more, though, I care about the converse case; in the case of

We cannot guarantee that the MIME body is really XML since errors will happen.
Sure - but when they hzappen, they should be *errors*. Not, something
that is supposed to happen sometimes.
But we can elminate the possibility that correctly-labelled data cause
fatal errors.
Yes, exactly.
Having heard your argument, I am inclined to introduce a media type
for external parsed entities.
Thanks. I am glad that we now agree.
How do other people feel?
As for external PARAMETER entities, they always parse as external DTD subsets.
I now think that we do not need a specialized media type for external
parameter
entites.
Instead, they should be labelled as what?
