                I know this is technically malformed xml. But does anyone care?
                Wondering where you bumped into a problem with this output.
                (aside, also wondering why you need xml and can't consume the json format)

                PHP's XML parser refuses to consume the document, so yes, there are some piece of code out there that cares.

                There's already existing code what we implemented to deal with CiviCRM's REST API using XML, so I really prefer to solve this bug (as I did with the patch), instead of rewriting everything to use JSON, it would be long (and expensive) hours and an error-prone process.
