Netx and invalid xml files

Hi,

I just came across a jnlp file [1] that is not valid xml. The file 
contains a <vendor> starting tag, but ends it with </vender> (the 'o' 
has been replaced by an 'e'). Netx fails to run this file, complaining 
it's not valid xml. However, Sun's Web Start runs it just fine. So now I 
am wondering what the correct behaviour should be. Should Netx attempt 
to deal with invalid xml files? or should Sun's implementation refuse to 
run this?
