A call for reason

Having SML being well formed but not valid XML is not too much to ask,
but...

The name rules are part of the well formed productions, they are not a
validation constraint.

So as it stands, there will exist valid SML documents that are not well
formed XML and will therefore trigger a fatal error if given to an XML
parser.
