You'll still be able to force them by specifying a NodeFactory 
explicitly, including the standard nu.xom.NodeFactory class that's 
been used since d1. The new NonverifyingFactory is package private. 
It's used by default if you don't specify anything else.

For the reasons you cite, I'm tempted to do full verification no 
matter what. There are parsers in the world that don't do what 
they're supposed to do. Howewver, the time savings from skipping 
verification on parse is noticeable.
