I know that and I appreciate it. This, however will only help me to find the errors. What I love about IDEA in general is that it continuously helps me not to make the errors in the first place. In the java coding it only proposes valid classes, methods and arguments when I use the context support. Having the same kind of support for xml editing when a DTD or schema is used would provide the same confidence for the resulting document.
Before I started to use IDEA I was always expecting to find a couple of compilation errors when it was time to compile. Today this is not the case since IDEA helps me avoid most errors and gives me direct visual feedback on several others. I see the Xerces validation a bit like the compile time checking for java, it will catch a lot of errors that I would not like to have run-time. Even better interactive schema support would help me to avoid them completely. Of course prioritizing the feature requests is up to you guys, I just try to convey my wishes and some rationale for them. I hope I'm not being too much of a pain in the but.
