That would have been pointless. The problem was the very approach of
giving advice on validation issues without understanding what
validation, just "thinking" that something could help, instead of taking
a look at the DTD or at the error message that was mentioned. There are
ideas that are so stupid that they deserve no serious comments.

I'm not trying to catch flies. I'm quite happy with letting a million
flies be right, and I'm trying keep them away from my sight.
