Description

We should provide some way to automatically check that proposed XML files are valid, and possibly some way to automatically generate one by filling in some form fields somewhere.

Note that this is not a suggestion that we return to the idea of a fully database backed live web app, only that we add/improve some tools.

Research direction

The issue does not identify any files, tests, or entry points. First determine where the repository currently validates or generates XML and clarify whether both capabilities are required. Done should include an agreed scope and automated tooling for the selected validation or generation workflow.
