Parser needed for non-well formed docs

Hi,

I have an interesting problem.

I'm trying to write a GUI editor for XML docs that include external
parsed entities.

However I need to maintain the original document structure (i.e.
multiple files) so I want to load the files used for external entities
individually, so I can modify their DOMs separate from the main XML
document DOM.

The trouble is I can't find a parser that will read non-well formed
external entity XML files (they typically have no root node, or rather
"multiple" root nodes) without throwing an error and then halting the
parse - usually citing "illegal character and end of file <"
because it hits the next (root level) tag in the external doc.

Is there such a parser out there? I really don't want to write a new one
or hack an existing one unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks in advance.
