I can work on this but I want to clarify it first. Which one do you prefer:
1- We won't have any command to do syntax checks (including tab and
nbsp), these checks will automatically run when we generate docs.
2- We will have a 'check' target but it will only do tab and nbsp
checks; xmllint will run only when generating the docs.
