While not cluster-aware, the program "xmllint" is an excellent way to do a 
quick syntax check on any XML file. I prefer to use the option "-noout" to 
supress any non-error output, as in:

	xmllint -noout /etc/cluster/cluster.conf

If it returns nothing (and sets the return value to 0), then there were no 
parsing errors (no mis-matched braces, for example).
