Yep, run a parser over the file. There must be thousands of them by now.
See the software pages under the SGML/XML main page at
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/
Some I use (I validate rather then WF-check cos I deal mostly with
files that use a DTD, but validators will also do WF checks):
nsgmls -s -wxml xml.dec myfile.xml (www.jclark.com)
python xpcmd.py myfile.xml (Python's xmlproc)
rxp myfile.xml (Univ of Edinburgh LTG)
