I'm no XML expert, but I've been told that it is well-formed XML, but
won't validate because it's lacking a DTD. Apparently use of DTDs
with XML is somewhat controversial, hence the "heavily discussed"
comment. We should probably provide an option to suppress the TAL
attributes in the rendered page.
