No it doesn't depend on my defintion of "compliant". It depends on the XML 1.0 spec's definition of "compliant".


If you write a parser that understands all of XML, but may throw away pieces
that it knows you don't want or need, is it out of compliance because it
pre-discarded the information? I don't know. If you needed it, I guess it
is out of compliance.
You're missing the point. If you write a XML parser, you write it to parse and emit XML. If you only needed to parse something else, like the SOAP subset, go right ahead, but don't call it an XML parser/processor.
