For example spring has a description tag. It is available in completion inside bean tag but if I complete it after <property element it will be reported as error (see example in the comment below)

This code is green for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
  <bean>
    <description></description>
  </bean>
</beans>

If you try this, it will be red because description should be before properties

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">
<beans>
<bean>
<property name="xxx" value="yyy" />
<description></description>
</bean>
</beans>

I see (although DTD validation seems flakey in #7255).

You're talking about adding a feature to code completion, correct? Would it not make more sense if completion simply did not suggest elements which are not allowed at current location?

From IDEA point of view 'description' tag is allowed and there is no easy way to do what you requested (red coloring comes from external validator on current document)
