gpxx extensions without namespace about togeojson

[tmcw]

Hey Yohan, good to hear from you!

Yeah, there are kind of two sides to this:

I want togeojson to detect for when XML is invalid ( #85 ) and report that or throw an error or something, so that this isn't the silent failure it is today.

In terms of the present, though - the parsing error is probably happening in parseFromString off of the DOMParser. DOMParser in the browser doesn't have any options for whether to be strict or lenient - it just parses what it does and doesn't parse what it doesn't - and it won't parse this XML. I think trying to use DOMParser and messing with the XML source to make invalid documents valid… would be tough.

There's another route which is probably better: the @xmldom/xmldom NPM module that togeojson-cli uses and Placemark uses is more lenient and will allow documents with invalid namespaces. Might want to try that, in place of using DOMParser - togeojson works with its generated DOM the same way it works with the browser one.
