I am about to close a bunch of tickets related to the asserts in
NewScanners which I changed in r17241 to regular parse errors: #822,
#1674, #1682, and #1765. I'm opening this ticket because some of those
cases, now that they aren't crashers, receive a number of unhelpful error
messages after the first. I propose XML team investigate trimming the
error reporting down to the last reasonably sensible message.
