I have been editing XML documents that contain a combination of "Invalid Reference" validity errors and "Semantic Error" validity errors. If a document contains both types of error, the validity state[0] displays the minor validity error icon. (My guess is that the priority of the icon follows the chart on that page, with later entries having higher priority.) As the validity state documentation mentions, though, the "Invalid Reference" error "is very common so you should not be alarmed by this situation", and, indeed, I actually expect this error in these documents because each document is being XIncluded into a larger document where the cross-references then resolve.
This means, though, that in this situation I don't get clear feedback when the document also contains a "Semantic Error" validity error, which for me is actually a more severe error than the "Invalid Reference" validity error. These errors are included in the full list in the validity tool, but they can easily get lost in a long list of "Invalid Reference" validity errors, and if they are an odd-numbered error in the list, they have a background color of white, which blends into the light yellow of the surrounding "Invalid Reference" validity errors. So, my request: is there a way for me to configure the priority of errors that are displayed by the validity state notifier? (Or does it make sense to hard-code the priority of "Semantic Error" validity errors to be just above "Invalid Reference" validity errors?) And also, is there a way to make "Semantic Error" validity errors stand out more in the validity tool? Could the list of errors somehow also include the icon of the error that is displayed by the validity state notifier?
