 <context><p>The XML editor will process XML files that are invalid or not
 well-formed. The editor uses heuristics to open a file using the best interpretation
 of the tagging that it can. For example, an element with a missing end tag
 is simply assumed to end at the end of the document. As you make updates to
 a file, the editor incrementally reinterprets your document, changing the
 highlighting, tree view, and so on. Many formation errors are easy to spot
 in the syntax highlighting, so you can easily correct obvious errors on-the-fly.
 However, there will be other cases when it will be beneficial to perform formal
 validation on your documents.</p></context>
