MSXML parser & SQL Server Memory

The below snippet from SQL Server BOL under the topic "sp_xml_preparedocument" implies that the use of XML can be extremely memory intensive. Is is really the case that MSXML uses 1/8 total SQL Server memory? I find this astounding if true.
"Note A parsed document is stored in the internal cache of SQL Server 2000. The MSXML parser uses one-eighth the total memory available for SQL Server. To avoid running out of memory, run sp_xml_removedocument to free up the memory."
It means that it can use up to 1/8th of the memory. Unless you try to parse
a very large document or never release the allocated memory, you should
never use or reach this limit.
