Hello,
  Some update to the mail I posted earlier ...

I have incorporated some improvements to this utility. The updated
utility is available at:
http://gandhimukul.tripod.com/java.htm#well-formdness

The notable improvements in this version are:
1) The comments can now be handled
2) The regular expression is more improved

PS: If anyone could suggest a perfect regular expression for XML names
(which needs to work with JDK 1.6.0), as per the XML 1.1 spec, I would
be delighted to incorporate it right away to this code. For this, you
need to look at my source code, for what I have written so far.
