Suppose we have an RDF file (in XML format) downloaded from the Web.

This RDF contains information about several namespaces.

If it is detected that one of the namespaces is described with a semantic 
error, should we reject the entire RDF file or just the erroneous part?

Or maybe, to have both strict and non-strict mode of processing of errors?

Please give as many as possible arguments both pro and contra strict 
processing of errors. It is a serious noncommercial project and we need to 
take the right decision.

The project homepage currently is:
