Well. If the file fails to parse, I don't see why it would make sense to
make it fail to parse twice.

The both tests in their success paths have value. Failing to parse the
same document twice does not.

This is certainly a good worthwhile goal. I just don't really see how
splitting the testing of unparsable documents into two places or
duplicating it will help your effort to simplify it.

The combined test will have to be renamed anyways and the xml2argv test
has the capability flags, so that seems as a better point to start the
rename.

I'd prefer 'done'. 'ok' seems too short. Also the test still may fail at
that point, so 'done' should not imply success (hopefully).
