To amplify that slightly, since "The Fine Manual" leaves something to be
desired ...

xmllint --noout --dtdvalid http://www.vuxml.org/dtd/vuxml-1/vuxml-11.dtd
vuln.xml

is what you want to validate that the file matches the DTD (the current
version passes). There is no way to use xmllint to "validate the
whitespace," but you could theoretically use the --format option as part
of 'make validate'. Note, that would require a one-time commit to change
the current format into what --format outputs, since they are pretty
dramatically different.

hth,

Doug
