No expert either but I'm sure a parser will parse a document and throw some kind of error if the document is not well-formed i.e. doesn't confirm the XML standard. However for a document to be valid it has to be validated against a dtd or a schema which determines what tags/attributes can appear in a document, the amount and how they're nested. Ideally I want a function which given a dtd url validates the document against this url. I'll have a look at the BF udf you posted the link to,
