That is quite irrelevant. The definition of the parsing algorithm
along with the syntax-independent requirements severely limits what
these criteria could be; such criteria could only define that some
documents are non-conforming even though they parse into conforming
trees without generating parse errors; doing anything beyond that
would contradict the rest of the draft.

It is actually possible to construct a document that parses into a
conforming tree without generating parse errors that does not con-
form to the requirements in section 9.1, odd as that may seem.

My point exactly.
