Summary: XML Parser configuration not clear for JAXP/XML novices

Initial Comment:
The XML Parser configuration panel, is very unclear for
non experienced (and maybe even experienced) JAXP and
XML developers.

The following options should be supported (as they are
currently):
[1] check wellformedness
    validating = false
    schemaLanguage = Any
    URI = None

[2] validate internal DTD
    validating = true
    schemaLanguage = None

[3] validate internal XSD
    validating = true
    schemaLanguage = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
    URI = None

[4] validate internal DTD + external schema (xsd,rng,etc.)
    validating = true
    schemaLanguage = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, 
                     http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0,
                     etc.
    URI = anyUri(s)

[5] validate external schema (xsd,rng,etc.)
    validating = false
    schemaLanguage = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, 
                     http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0,
                     etc.
    URI = anyUri(s)

Solution [1]:
Provide very clear help information.

Solution [2]:
Provide a drop down (combo) with the 5 options
specified above.

Note: might need to specify a dummy URI to distinguish
between option 3 and 4 and to distinguish between
option 1 and 5.

Note: the option should change when the user makes
changes to the form.
