Will it reformat a minified single-line XML?

Yes — that's the main use. It re-indents with two spaces regardless of how the document arrived.

What if the XML isn't well-formed?

It refuses and tells you the line and column, rather than emitting a mangled document that looks formatted but isn't valid.
