: Right now, Solr accesses the DOM as needed (at runtime) to fetch : information. There isn't much up-front checking beyond the XML : parser.
bingo, and adding more upfront checking is hard for at least two reasons i can think of... 1) keeping a DTD up to date is a pain sa new features are added 2) the way some options are passed to plugable classes makes it impossible to validate (ie: tokenizers, caches, etc...) -Hoss
