So why not making the "web.xml validator" a separate download ? If people want to turn on validation, they'll need to get the validator - which will include xerces and some simple script to do the validation. BTW, I've seen a lot of pain with the DTD validation turned on - yes, I know that reversing the order of <icon> and <display-name> would make the app incompatible and violate the spec ( in 2.2 and 2.3 at least ), but many users seem to fail to remember the exact order of the 24 elements.
