Sorry, I should have looked that up, and included it in my response.
We have a well-defined error for that:
<stream:error>
<invalid-xml xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'/>
<text xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams' xml:lang='en-us'>
DTDs are not supported on this stream.
</text>
</stream:error>
or some such. See RFC 3920, section 4.7.3.

Another option, which resolves this ambiguity is to say that the
receiving entity MUST disconnect from the sending entity, the same as
if non-well-formed XML had been sent.
I like this option, so long as the receiving entity also sends a
descriptive
error
message to the sending entity.

PS I am developing an xml parser in java which works on byte
buffers instead
of streams, but uses the java 1.6 / java EE javax.xml.stream XMLEvent
interface so that it can more easily interoperate with other xml
tools.
This
makes it easier to work with non-blocking io for a server, but also
unfortunately seemed
to require a dedicated xml parser. Minimizing the required work
for that
parser
is what originally triggered the question, but I'm more concerned
about
being
very clear with respect to what happens to message content.
