Now discussion about XML and typoscript is on the old trak again and 
goes in cycles.

With my excurs from today comparing xml and typoscript with focus on 
validation and contexts I wanted to clear especially the following 2 
questions:

1.) It is realistic that we can programm validating/semantics check for 
typoscript one day?

2.) If this target seems to be unrealistic, what follows of this?
