Improve validation of input documents

Details

Description

For example, the snippet

<tr> foo <td/> bar </tr>

successfully parses with the XDocParser, despite the <tr> element having element-only content, i.e. "foo" and "bar" are invalid tokens.

An unfinished idea is to combine a validating XML parser with the XSDs that have recently been created to actually check the input documents against the XSDs.

Also, having a validating XML parser with the proper XSD would allow to detect ignorable whitespace, making the programmatic flag suggested in DOXIA-226 superfluos.

IMHO we could implement this feature with XppParserOnStaxReader from [1] (ASL license). We need to specify the correct XSD/DTD.
