I understand the attitude of some saying Apple "should implement the absolute correct parser". But such way of thinking is not practical. The question is not whether there is an "absolute correct parser" but much more when can we have a relative correct and safe parser. The way Apple had to wrestle with 4 different implementations of the same parser function shows that the issue is not trivial. Other XML parsers may have the same problem, too, albeit uncovered yet.
Using AI to flag down unusual entitlements and other potential hacks in the future is much more practical and future-proof than race for the absolute correct guard. The AI should not replace a correct implementation but rather augment it as an additionl security tool.
I'm certain many organization would go this way in the near future (if they not already did!)
