    Tomcat will complain if it finds errors it can't deal with. 
     We encourage people to use an independent tool, such as 
    XMLSpy or one of the free online variants, to validate any 
    all XML configuration files.
    That applies to web.xml as well.

Even valid files can be in error though?
  I was missing one block, in WEB-INF/web.xml,
  and it bombed horrendously, despite being valid to the DTD.


I had <servlet-mapping> without the corresponding <servlet>
No DTD will catch that. Nor XSD schema.


  Perhaps schematron validation could be used
to provide improved validation in some future version?
