Tonight's fun debugging: It seems a gerbolyze user has managed to trip up *multiple* XML parsers independently by throwing them an attr of 18MB size to chew on. BeautifulSoup with lxml outright misparses the file, and gerbolyze's svg-flatten with pugixml non-deterministically sometimes misparses it.
