Actually, I think it does check the tags.  Either that or it's because I
use Xemacs with the psgml plugin (which gives me a menu command to check
next trouble spot within a parsed xml doc, along with all the other
handy sgml/xml menu tools).

Me either.  I think that between XEmacs/psgml and xmlproc_parse, I got
it covered for xml.  Otherwise, I guess we'll need more suggestions!
