Obviously ejabberd replies with a correct error message, currently it
will send an error stanza with diagnostic text, e.g.: "Unknown tag
<retry/> qualified by namespace 'urn:xmpp:http:upload:0'"

I disagree. The feature is useful for client developers for example, so
they get validation errors when sending garbage and, thus, can fix
the code easily. For example, some of our customers just add new
elements within existing namespace (such as 'jabber:client'), and this
will be easily rejected by the validator.
