There's two types in all kinds of editors
... the concept is that "as you type" validation reflects the
*unsaved, unbuilt* contents of the document you are editing.
So, that's where you see underline.
The problems-view type markers should only reflect the *saved, built* state
of the document.
In general, all editors should behave
similarly to the Java Editor in this regards.
So .. given that conceptual orientation,
perhaps you could open specific bugs if/when you see things that could
be improved?

[wtp-dev] JSP Editor: two kinds of validation?
There seems to be two types of validation in the JSP
editor. One kind
find problems like this:
<foo:bar>
where foo:bar is a tag that doesn't exist. This kind of validation
is
normally instant (as you type) but it does not update markers. The
problem is underlined in the editor but neither the Problems view or the
navigator are decorated to tell you there is a problem even after you do
a clean build.
Where the same prefix is used twice. This second case is identifiably
validated using the IValidator framework.
This raises the following questions in my mind:
1) Why are there two modes of validation?
2) Why is most validation is done in this first way that seems less
satisfactory given that is triggers no markers or build warnings?
