Mark Finkle na swoim blogu opublikował wersję beta prostego walidatora XUL.

Chcąc go użyć wystarczy kod języka XUL wkleić w pole formularza i sprawdzić jego poprawność.

Aktualnie walidator sprawdza poprawność i semantyczność kodu XUL…

There is a primitive front end where you can put XUL into a textarea and validate it. The validator is completely client-side JavaScript with a simple JSON rules file. You can view the source and the rules from the validator “Tests” page. [...] [...] I put together a simple XUL validator based on the ideas in my last post.

I once started a 'beyond validation' SVG checker, but still have to improve that into a generally usable state. Maybe it’s useful to look into the new modular validator framework of the W3C.

I have an interface in my Verbosio application for validating XML documents in a given language such as XUL. Soon, I'll need help writing actual code for validation, so this could prove very useful.

The translate toolkit needs that. Then there's the talk that dynamis gave at the summit, mentioning issues like "don't concat different strings with spaces" or "don't put a plaintext '.' in your xul". Another big point would be RTL, when designing a XUL interface, you want to take good care that your stuff works if you change layout to RTL. Not sure what that means in concrete guidelines, though, and if a tool could check that.

I think it would be a great tool. I haven't started to tackle XUL but I've been watching your blog because it's a great resource for when I finally get around tuit.
