It isn't a value at all, so this makes no sense. Can you give us the
full, accurate diagnostic message? It would be much more effective than
making people guess. Also, it would be very helpful for you to give a
chunk of the code surrounding this tag. Just because this is where the
parser first realized for certain that there was an error condition,
doesn't mean that the cause of the error didn't begin earlier.
