 mb> You don't loose anything, but the parser wont acceppt it.

    So it will not go to the next level; that is tantamount of loosing it this 
and possibly later weeks. That's why we have the error flag in the current 
nodelist: flag it but do not break it...

        [...]

 mb> An XML parser wouldn't acceppt the XML document at all if the file

    That was not my question. Let me rephrase it: if the document would 
containt two errors, would the parser exit when finding the first error or 
would it continue to the end of the document and prooduce a log of all errors 
found?
