In order to ensure there are no errors in your modified *.xml files, you may validate them against the XML stylesheets provided in the directory:
xmllint --noout --schema EMC_POST_CTRL_Schema.xsd postcntrl_gfs.xml
xmllint --noout --schema EMC_POST_CTRL_Schema.xsd postcntrl_gfs_f00.xml
xmllint --noout --schema EMC_POST_CTRL_Schema.xsd postcntrl_gfs_f00.xml
If the xml’s are error free, then the commands will return that the xml validates. (e.g. postcntrl_gfs.xml validates)
