What I mean by validating udev rules files is probably closest to #1 
above. Because I generate udev rules automagically with a script at 
install time I would like to be sure that the rules files are formatted 
correctly before installing them on the system and potentially screwing 
things up (like happened before). I could write my own validation script 
but if there is a good way to validate rules files using udev itself, 
that would obviously be the better way to go.
