How do I deal with the "Invalid XML for View Architecture!" error?

Question

Let's just say I hand craft some lovely XML for a view, update the module and am brought to a screeching halt by this error message:

except_orm: ('ValidateError', u'Error occurred while validating the field(s) arch: Invalid XML for View Architecture!')

How would you approach resolving this issue?

Is there a way to see more detail about what the complaint is?

Would you cut out everything inside

<field name="arch" type="xml"> </field>

then add it back a piece at a time until the error shows up again?

In a general manner, when you develop, you better have to activate the debug logging's level, so you'll have more details about the errors in the lo
