As you are new to XML, my advice is to learn two basic concepts:
1) Well-formed
2) Valid

A well-formed document has no errors in tag matching or attribute quoting,
or other such tidiness issues.

A valid document is a well-formed document which also conforms to a specified
DTD.

Your browser is checking well-formedness, but not validity.
