R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:
I think it is perfectly reasonable for a parser to leave the file pointer in
some undefined further location into the file when it detects "extra stuff" and
produces an error message. One can certainly argue that producing that error
message is a feature ("detect badly formed documents").
I also think that your use case is a perfectly reasonable one, but I think a
mode that supports your use case would be an enhancement.
