[PROJECT IDEA] Modify IATI Transformer, to make it find and fix minor errors in v2.0x data #21

There has been a lot of discussion about relatively minor syntactic data errors that cause IATI data to be invalid against the v2.0x schema. (For example, element ordering.)

The impact of this is significant, since the new datastore will reject datasets that fail to validate.

It’s possible to fix these syntactic errors “on the fly” using XSLT, in exactly the way IATI Transformer does.
