"well-formed", not valid/invalid. In XML, the distinction is
significant.
<atag>></atag> is also well-formed, so if libxml2 won't accept it,
someone should open a defect report.
On the other hand, this:
<atag>]]></atag> is *not* well-formed (but, umm, good luck writing a
regex that makes it ill-formed, while allowing <![CDATA[<atag>example
of ill-formedness</btag>]]>, which is perfectly well-formed.
Argue that they're corner cases, perhaps.

I don't know that I ever wanted greatness, on its own. It seems rather
like wanting to be an engineer, rather than wanting to design something,
or wanting to be a writer, rather than wanting to write. It should be a
by-product, not a thing in itself. Otherwise, it's just an ego trip.
