The 'virsh define', 'virsh create' and 'virsh edit' commands
get XML validation enabled by default, with a --skip-validate
option to disable it.
The quality of error reporting from libxml2 varies depending
on the type of XML error made. Sometimes it is quite clear
and useful, other times it is obscure & inaccurate. At least
the user will see an error now, rather than having their
XML modification silently disappear.
