1) Get a stand-alone validating parser, like rxp, and run it against the xm
file.  Xerces can be run in a standalone mode.  I think there is a wrapper
available for the Microsoft processor to do this, too, but I don't have a
reference.

2) Use an xml or xslt editing program, like XCooktop, Architag, XML Spy,
etc., and run its validation process.  Several of these programs are free,
though they mostly run on Windows.

3) Write a program that controls a validating xml parser, such as msxml3,
msxml4, or xerces.  You can find reference material to tell you how, so it
might not be too painful.

4) Use an on-line validation service.  Here is a link to a list of them:

Personally, I would use rxp.  It's free, good, and runs on just about any
platform.  Use the -sV options for validating without excess output.
