Saxon will accept input from a stream of SAX events, and it requires only
that the events should be "well-balanced" (in the terminology of an obscure
W3C standard on document fragment interchange), i.e. the root can contain
anything that an element can contain. The most likely source of a stream
that is well-balanced but not well-formed is the output of a previous XSLT
transformation.
