Validation preferences

    The XML editor now supports validation of documents with XInclude directives. In addition, any changes to an XML's grammar (in its DTD or XML Schema files) will trigger a revalidation on the XML file. The severity of the reported problem for a lack of grammar constraints is now also controllable. Both of these features are controllable from the XML Files preference page.
