No.  The standard processing of the embedded document is as a validated
XML document.  The customer decided that, in the odd case in which a
newly imported document was not well-formed it was unacceptable to take
the draconian approach of rejecting the document; we are instead
required to provide temporary storage for the document until it can be
cleaned up.  In any case, such a document must not cause the entire set
of commands in which it appears to fail.
