xmllint, I suppose.

And if it needs to have more than basic XML element structure consistency checks,
then it's probably possible to use --dtdvalid on a DTD (as hopefully
published for VS2005/08/10 etc.).

Unless that's still not precise enough for full validation of all
content.


Obviously this should best be made a mandatory post-build step prior to release.
