Question: why? What's the point of doing that? How many people validate 
Qt ui files? Instead of spending time on doing that, lets improve 
kcfgcreator and get people to use that application to create xml files. 

Personally I never ever wanted to have developers learn another xml 
format. I wanted to have an app to do all the tidious configuration 
tasks for them. This is why I started writting kcfgcreator. Instead of 
developing framework for validating files, lets finish means of 
creating them. Fix the problem, not the result of it :)
