I fixed a whole bunch of XML syntax errors. Note that the majority of these may not have caused any bugs due to the way FTL parses XML files, but their existence makes it a lot harder to find bug-causing xml errors because of all the false positives the bad syntaxes throw.
Here is the fully fixed file which passed GMM's Validate with flying colors (this is with backgrounds):

Here it is without hi-res backgrounds:

I would ask that you use them. Here are the errors fixed:
