I agree that validating alone is no virtue. What I think would help 
developers is an extendable, formal description that let's a TS 
processor in debug mode tell you where the errors are.

This formal description must know all object and properties. If this can 
be done by creating an XML schema, doing an on-the-fly conversion from 
TS to xml than fine. If it can be done in some other way, also fine. In 
fact the conversion from TS to xml seems to me a waste of resources. 
having a schema should be enough.
