What's the fastest way to check if an XMP file is validly formed?  (Not embedded). I am particularly concerned with the PLUS namespace.

I don't know of a good XMP validator.  There is an RDF/XML validator online, but that won't help with namespaces.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

How about testing just to see if a document is not a malformed XMP file?  Can ET help with that?

Currently ExifTool doesn't do much XMP validation.
