I still find it amusing that XMPP by design violates XML spec, thus requiring its own custom XML parser.

It does not violate the spec, but it violates the expectations of a lot of XML tooling for sure.
It uses a subset of the XML spec, it does not need a custom parser, any existing parser will do.
