Dmitry,

Since you're allowing the user to edit or prepare the XML document, there is not much you can do besides error trapping. Using current parsers like MSXML you cannot turn a not well-formed XML document into a well-formed XML document. You would have to write a parser for the effect.

Does the user has to prepare the data for your system in XML?
