I think a decent IDE with robust XML syntax support will help you out here ... I used to constantly run into run-time errors, but with Eclipse (and, I guess more specifically, the MyEclipse plug-in, $29.95/yr) - the XML editor let's me know of any errors before it gets that far. Saves me time and frustration. Decent code hint/autocompletion for XML, too.
