+ <dd><p>An XML parser with non-draconian error handling.  It can
+ construct a DOM tree from XML 1.0/1.1 documents that does <em>not</em>
+ rely on external entities (including the external subset entity) and
+ that does <em>not</em> contain general entity reference that
+ references an entity whose replacement text contains character
+ <code>&</code> or <code>&lt;</code>.  It also supports XML namespaces.
+ <p>It does not stop the process to construct a DOM tree even if it
+ detects a well-formedness or a namespace well-formedness error.  It
+ recovers from errors in a manner similar to HTML5's tokenization
+ algorithm.  It is expected that the combination of this module and a
+ future extension to the <code>Whatpm::ContentChecker</code> framework
+ will provide a mean to detect all well-formedness and validity errors,
+ if desired.

+ <h3>How to use modules</h3>
+ <p><a href="#modules">Modules</a> listed above, which are included in
+ the Whatpm package, can be used by directly <code>use</code>ing or
+ <code>require</code>ing these modules and then invoking their native
+ interface.  For more information on those native interfaces, see the
+ document of those modules and the source code of them.
+ <p>In addition, some of functionality provided by those modules can be
+ accessed via standardized DOM interfaces implemented by modules
+ included in the <a
+ href="http://suika.fam.cx/www/manakai-core/doc/web/">manakai-core</a>
+ package.  See the document of the module <a
