Report sent_id in errors

[Tree number 4093 on line 86571]: Mismatch between the text attribute and the FORM field.

You cat *.conllu to pipe to validate.py to check for duplicate ids and whatnot. After the script is done with the first file, line numbers become non-informative. # sent_ids would reliably id the erroneous sentence.

The new validator (for Python 3) reports both the line number and the sentence id:

Cool!

Off the topic, I have some objections to the new validation rules.

• That non-projective punctuation is an author’s appos, put after the quotes, in regard to something inside the quotes. Seems legit?

• That comma after cc is really unnecessary but the author put it there.
• Those cop children are negations and should indeed be moved up (and internally labeled with #phrase-modification). However, what about [Gloss]: She not was the-best, she is the-best!
• advmod:det is a lang-specific phenomenon. Not sure how to analyze it in a better way.

Are the new validation rules mature enough so a separate issue can be opened to discuss them?

[dan-zeman]

The new validation rules are mature enough for separate issues to be opened (preferably in the docs issue tracker) about individual rules. Otherwise they are not mature, which means that discussion is welcome :-)
