This is not going to help teams who have made the choice to use weblate.
Fortunately Michal already implemented XML validation into weblate so we
will at least catch the syntax errors when he updates debian.weblate.org
with the new version (but DTD validation can't be done, but this is a
minor problem compared to the syntax issues).
