                        Yule conditioned on root warns too much
The Yule prior produces a warning about a missing MRCA prior on the root, even when the prior is present because validateInputs() is called before initAndValidate() is called, so the tree is not initialised yet.
Making the XMLParser perform the call to validateInputs() after all nodes are initialised should fix this.
