I dunno, TI. The author states that document.write doesn't work in xml
then proceeds to provide an example of invalid markup as proof.

Furthermore, the conclusion:

"So in order to remain compliant with XML, document.write() doesn't work
on documents that are parsed with an XML parser."

....is a double-talk way of *trying* to state that document.write isn't
complaint with the xml standard/official guidelines, which it fails to
do.

I think this whole thing is just an example of an invalid argument.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
