I would assume (already I'm treading on thin ice here), that the editor could
point out where the error is possible located. It would actually be easier
than in an X12 document, since all the data is surrounded by <tag> </tag>.
The error would be found at the location of the first mismatched set of tags.
Tools already exist to check HTML which is already very similar.
