Actually, the fact that it was able to tell that you gave it a contradictory
error means that it was able to understand what it really was, so it tries
to continue. If it couldn't figure out what it was (and it does this in
normal cases as well, when you don't provide an XMLDecl), it would have just
gone ahead and then died in a major way when it started decoding what seems
to it like garbage.
