Just as there are people with requirements for proper XSLT filtering there
will be people with requirements for proper validation. so if  a validation
dialogue is implemented someone is going to complain about the following not
being supported 
(as it probably won't be)

1. setting the validation type, lax, strict, skip.

2. I want other validation types than xml schema (wait a second here,
OpenOffice must have the ability to do not just doctype but RelaxNG
validation on documents right?) Schematron might be a requested validation
type.

3. I want to ignore validation errors when working on a document, but with
the new validation it won't let me import until it is valid.

4. I am importing a valid document into a valid document, but this creates a
non-valid document, what do I do. 

I mean just thinking about it one could see a large number of complaints,
issues, wants coming up from introduction of validation. Therefore I would
assume that adding validation should be considered carefully. I don't think
that anyone will be   satisfied with a simple yes/no validate.
