nsgmls (from the sp package) can parse and validate *any* SGML document
(possibly limited by character set support). Something like:
SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.soc \
SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES SP_ENCODING=XML nsgmls -s -wxml index.html
should work for XML. /usr/share/doc/sp/xml.htm has more information.
