I have to play around with the checkout to see how everything works
anyway, so we're in no hurry.

Sure, I'm not planning to introduce new tools right now. And I'm not
planning to check in anything major without a review.

My tools don't validate the generated XHTML either, but they make sure
that the result is well-formed XML and only the elements and attributes
existing in XHTML are present. E.g. a <p> nested inside a <p> isn't
detected, so the final validation still has to be done via 
validator.w3.org or some other tool.

OK, I'll post a patch once the bugtracker is in place (and the patch
is finished ;))
