Summary: Confusing "Validate using internal DTD" terminology

Initial Comment:
Remove all terminology describing the validation method to be using an 'internal' DTD.

The term "Validate using internal DTD" was used to describe that the DTD was referenced from within the document using a DOCTYPE, instead of by being referenced by the tool externally to the document. However since the W3C XML spec describes both internal and external DTD subsets, this is very confusing.

Instead the following validation options are probably less confusing:

[1] Checking wellformed-ness,
[2] Validate using DTD (internal + external subsets),
[3] Validate using xsi:schemaLocation attribute hints,
[4] Validate using specified Schema(s) (ignoring hints),
[5] Validate using DTD and specified Schema(s),
