"Legal" XML simply means that all tags are properly terminated, etc. and most
good XML libraries support DTDs and/or Schemas which check the structure and
data for compliance with user defined (ie. FTSC or *C issued) specs.  Any
segment processor that is capable of rejecting bad incoming segments will be
able to manually check local segments after modification and before getting
sent upsteam.

Given the availability of XML libraries, it probably won't be too out of the
question for a dedicated XML Nodelist editor to be written somewhere along the
line, rather than rely on generic XML editors.
