What I was hoping to achieve was to determine that something wasn't a  
document and wasn't content, however as you pointed out on the bugs  
thread the value must be XML. My mistake was not checking that I had  
followed the definitions all the way back to the root. What I will do  
instead is implement the xml_is_well_formed function and get a patch  
out in the next day or two.

Thank you Robert and Peter for tolerating my stumbles through the standard.
