Contrary to the suggestion in the article, my own (empirical) finding is that Henry Thompson's XSV (available from the W3C site) and Tibco Extensibility's XML Validate & XML Console have the best conformance to the spec (i.e. to those parts of the spec that I use, anyway). Certainly these are the tools I trust most as reference validators. That said, I can see how the natural impact of market share would drive people to conclude that Xerces and/or MSXML are the most conformant. Being conformant with market leaders is always important, regardless of the actual specs. Cheers, Tony.
