---------------------------------------------------------------------
I fixed the parser issue in revisions 1552521 (trunk) and 1552522 (1.8 branch).
The question is: is it a problem that the parser now has some sort of a
self-healing mechanism? Is a PDF/A1b document with a broken XRef table still a
valid pdf?

> When running Preflight in XML mode, the latest Preflight version (I used the
> JAR from build #747) sometimes produces output that contains characters that
> are illegal in XML. This can cause unexpected behavior if such files are
> further processed with tools that expect well-formed XML. See attached PDFs,
> which all result in illegal characters in the description of a 1.0 Syntax
> error, Error: Expected a long type. Output of older versions of Preflight
> didn't contain these illegal characters; instead they would give something
> like *actual='/O'*, *actual='Pages'*. etc. So I suppose this must have been
> caused by a fairly recent change.
> See attachments below.
