Validation is something that's only of interest to the developer - it's
probably better to have a stand-alone validator that you run over the
templates while developing them, than to wear the cost of validation
every time to run a template.

I'd presume there are HTML validators out there than can be taught
about albatross's tags, although it would be difficult with things like
<al-if><al-else></al-endif>.
