Could you please tell what the standard XML tools are (name) ? I am 
particularly interested in have a "standard" commandline tools for 
parsing and validating xml (and html/sgml as a bonus) on my linux 
system, and also win32 wouldn't hurt, as I'm frequently using both. I 
say command line because I can configure my editor to use it for 
checking (it lets me set a path for any validators, compilers, parsers, 
etc. Would be great if I could just check HTML and XML documents on the 
fly like I can with, say, Perl or c.)

The reason I'm asking is doing a google search on google for XML parser 
gave me many useless results, and it's rather hard to tell which one 
realy does things right (conforming to standards.)

Thanks.
