Not all errors are errors (I mean mostly those that say "Output 
differs", but also others).
Some are simply a result of xmlwf having a different definition of 
canonical XML
than the current standard. There is an open bug (#569461) where the XML 
test suite is discussed.
Also the code running the test suite isn't ideal - it doesn't process 
the XML file that describes
the test cases, but processes them based on the directory structure, 
which is not 100% correct.

Overall, Expat is close to 100% compliant.
