Response to invalid XML?
------------------------

                 Key: OBIX-99
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OBIX-99
             Project: OASIS Open Building Information Exchange (oBIX) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ENCODINGS Specification
    Affects Versions: OBIX 1.1 XSD PR02
         Environment: TAB Review
            Reporter: Toby Considine
            Assignee: Toby Considine


"Section 2.4 XML Decoding says in part: 

***** 
However an OBIX parser MUST never accept an XML document which isn't well formed (such as mismatched tags). 
***** 

But the SOAP binding document says: 

2.2 Error Handling: ""The OBIX specification defines no SOAP faults. If a request is processed by an OBIX server, then a valid OBIX document SHOULD be returned with a failure indicated via the err object."" 

I may have over looked it but what response, if any, does a server return for non-well-formed XML? Reasoning that a client could simply keep resending without any response or ability to signal non-receipt of the XML based message. 

In reading 10.2 of OBIX 1.1, the server ""successfully receives a request"" which I assume means the message has not been rejected due to malformed XML. Yes?
