I consider that one of the multitude of flaws in XML.

Compare that with the close analogue: S expressions. Every lisp/scheme
command interface takes in a sequence of unframed S expressions and
interprets them in sequence. I have built similar interfaces using XML:
the command interface accepts a sequence of XML elements and acts on
them upon reaching the end of a complete element.
