[jdom-interest] Validation using DOMBuilder

[Jason Hunter]

The only validators out now are those that validate file content when
they're loaded into memory.  There's someone working on a validator that
operates in memory, and that would be the ideal solution for you.  Right
now you want to validate, with JDOM or any API, you'll need to convert
to bytes and read in from bytes.  Yep, it's lousy, and that's why we're
doing something about it!
