Project: 
cXML Validation Tool....
Here's a bit of something I'm working on because Lord love a Duck ... no one out there in eCommerce land seems to know how to validate cXML.  (Which is NOT just XML with a "c" in front of it.)  (More on Blog) ...
 
Pretty simple really - lets you upload a cXML document - validates it against the DTD at cxml.org - an then you can send the file to your servers and see the HTTP responses, headers, all that fun stuff.
