What is the difference between a well-formed XML document and a 'valid' XML document?

What are some ways to determine if an xml document is well-formed and/or valid? (looking for websites and/or software)

Well formed XML is syntactically correct (ie. a parser won't choke on it) and valid XML is semantically correct based on a provided schema.

See here for more details.
