Known Subclasses:

Raised when something in the infoset fails to satisfy a content model or attribute requirement.

All validation errors include a location attribute which shows where in the original XML the problem occurred. The attribute may be None if the content did not come from an XML document, or the underlying XML infrastructure did not provide a location.

More refined validation error exception classes add more attributes.
