XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

strictErrorChecking: boolean(3)

Synopsis

When set to false, DOM implementations are free to ignore error conditions (such as invalid characters in identifiers) that would ordinarily raise a DOMException. Although exceptions will not be raised, the behavior of the implementation after encountering an error is undefined. The default value of this attribute is true.

Java binding
