(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I've tried to reproduce bug 2, but I'm not able to (in Emacs 28)...  but
I'm not quite sure I understand the test case.

rng-validate-timer is buffer-local, rng-validate-timers isn't, so if you
have more than two xml buffers, you'll end up with two timers on that
list (as you should, I think?)  Or do I misunderstand what the problem
is (if it still exists -- this is a seven year old bug report).
