A quick nitpick.
You need to be careful about terminology. In the strict XML sense,
"valid" has a different meaning to what I think you intended.
well-formed: an XML document is "well-formed" if it is "error free".
valid: an XML document is "valid" if its structure matches the
constraints expressed in its Document Type Definition (DTD).
So the correct term in your posts would be "well-formed XML". "Valid
XML" means something else entirely.
