It checks xml syntax.

So it depends on what do you want to validate, DTD, schema, DOM syntax?

There are also schema validators:

OASIS site should have "fodt" schemas you can use as template for 
guidance on creating the file and then cheking against that :-?

That indicates the XML syntax of your file is valid, but yes, OOo is 
maybe crashing because cannot interpret the syntax. Launch OOo writer and 
load that fodt file from command line to see the output errors.
