Suggestion File Validation
XML Schema and validator script
To check that your submissions validate there is a bash script available.
Download both files then run (xmllint is required):
> ./valid.sh XML_FILE context2012.xsd
This will check that the submission file contains the correct tags and attributes, it will also make sure that suggestion tags have unique combinations of profile, context and rank.
