Henri might have opinions here
The attachment is not XML according to XML 1.0 4th edition and earlier. After XML 1.1 flopped, the W3C changed the definition of 1.0 to fold some changes from XML 1.1 while pretending that the result is still XML 1.0. Of course, such changes are a really bad idea in a format that has Draconian error handling.
