title: Read string without parsing in Python xml.dom
body: <p>As you probably know, Pythons xml.dom readString() throws an exception, if there is anything wrong with the xml code.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently writing a simple xmpp chat server, and as you probably also know, one of the first client request message does not close the stream:stream tag, until it does not get a reply.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to use pythons xml.dom without "parsing" the xmlcode or should I write my own xml parser?</p>
