We don't currently have a tool for this.  Whether it even makes sense
depends on what you mean by "validate".  It's certainly possible to
work out a some sort of DTD-based validation, with well-formedness
checking of the expressions.  It's not reasonable to talk about
whether a template can be executed successfully with providing
information about the request and context object.

But DTD validation and TAL expression well-formedness checking would
be nice to have in a command-line tool.  It's worth a collector entry
in the Zope3-dev collector, if you have a minute to file that.  The
collector is at:
