To uise that, I'd first have to have the XML schema for .fodt.
What's more, that page seems to be about validating a schema, rather than
checking whether an XML file satisfies the schema.
Maybe I'm wrong. Am I missing something?

iceweasel just reads the XML file and shows it to me in a nice indented
tree format. It's good to know I have such a tool. But it finds no
errors. Persumably, therefore, my XML is OK but I've violated the .fodt
schema, or hit a bug in OpenOffice Writer.
epiphany just says, on startup,
Unable to load page
Problem occurred while loading toe URL file:///home/hendrik
No idea why. It certainly used to start up before the last upgrade. Bt
it's probably unrelated to this thread
