Recently a potential problem came to light. (Or is it a problem?)

The problem was the occurance of a STAGO followed by a space and then
more text (eg. "... end of sentence.< Next sentence ..."). There was
no matching TAGC.

The parser (Exoterica's XGML Normalizer) passed the occurance without
commenting on it in any way.

However, the following application produced an error when the
occurance was encountered.

QUESTION: Should the parser have picked up the STAGO followed by space
and flagged it? Or was the parser correct in passing it over as if it
were a piece of text?

If the latter is correct, where should the occurance be trapped so as
not to be a problem to the following application?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
