You actually don’t need well-formed X[H]TML to use NSXMLDocument. One of the 
option flags to the -init method tells it to run the ‘htmltidy’ preprocessor 
over the input, which will correct even the gnarliest hand-written tag-soup 
HTML into something the XML parser can handle. It’s extremely useful for 
handling random web content.
