Even if it's not in that context (I know you can make it aware
e.g. when using `xmllint --shell`) it should have failed this way
(line number specific to my test case replicating this, so meaningless
here):

parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: AttributeValue line 33 and AttributeValue
           <saml2:AttributeValue>sn last_name</saml:AttributeValue>

That specific wording ("AttributeValue" and "AttributeValue" mismatch)
must remain mysterious to any deployers not having already realised
that this is an XML namespacing issue, of course.

Best,
