Then there's that nasty "well-formed" clause.
I've tried some of the online stuff with results that are all over the
board.

I had to work with an 837 file a few weeks back that was almost 300
megabytes.
UltraEdit was the tool of choice, did get the job done, but took a while.
Let's bump that file up to XML (Using the most conservative "X12 look-alike"
schema) and you're looking at roughly a 9 gig file.
How much memory do you have?

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.

Yes. So it's time to upgrade your hardware.
