Ah, validators. I know who collected those links ;-)

The link to STG XML Validation Form leads to an Error 404 and I can't
find a replacement on Brown University's website.

The URL for XML Nanny now leads to a site in Japanese that is apparently
not about XML validation. (There is a tool called "XML Nanny" for
validating XML and XHTML in the Mac App Store:
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xml-nanny/id423791387?mt=12>.)

Nvu was discontinued some time ago; its successor was Kompozer
<http://kompozer.net/>, which had its most recent release in ... 2010.

With regard to XML editors:
* The link to SCREEM can be removed; the project has been inactive for
several years now.
* There have been no xerlin releases since 2005 (though the program may
still work (it's in Java).
