I didn't know this tool:

# xmllint hosts.xml
hosts.xml:28: parser error : expected '>'


# xmllint /tmp/empty
/tmp/empty:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
/tmp/empty:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

^

And for "<package> tag found outside of <packages> context" error we 
would get:

# xmllint firefox.xml
firefox.xml:22: parser error : expected '>'
</packages>
          ^
firefox.xml:23: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: packages 
line 3 and package
</package>
