<include-prelude> silently ignored in web.xml that uses 2.3 DTD

Thanks Yoav, I understand the logic of that.  Point taken re use of XML 
validators.  Also your fix to my other reported bug (#31671) will make this 
issue less likely to occur.

Although TC is not required to validate XML, it seems to do some validation, 
because it often rejects other errors in web.xml, such as missed or mismatched 
closing tags, missed angle brackets, servlet class not found etc.  This is why 
I was surprised that it did not complain about the specific issue I reported.  
Is there a simple rule that explains why Tomcat rejects some web.xml errors but 
not others?  If so then maybe including this in docs somewhere might help 
people understand more clearly what web.xml errors TC will report on, versus 
those it will ignore....?
