Hi,

 

There is a difference between malformed XML and a schema validation check, they are not the same.

 

An XML document can be well-formed but it may not conform (or in other words - valid) to various restrictions/definitions that its schema declared on.

 

 

I suggest you look at the XML RFC or even here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML for more details.

 

 

I was reading again the description in the GUI, if you could highlight for me what exactly isn't clear I would be happy to make sure we improve it.

 

 

Thank you for your feedback!

 

Cheers,

 

Ido
