When we were in the final stages of Frontier 5.1.3, we wanted to see how
our parser would do with real-world XML, and we found that HotBot has a
neat feature that allows you to find all the files that point to pages
ending with ".xml". We found a bunch of test cases that way.

Here's the query:

M0=MC&AT0=words&AW0=&AM1=MN&AT1=words&AW1=&savenummod=2&date=WH&DV=0&DR=newe
r&DM=1&DD=1&DY=98&FSU=1&FS=.xml&RD=AN&Domain=&RG=all&PS=A&PD=&_v=2&OPs=MDRTP
&NUMMOD=2
