What you can do with XSLT you can probably also do using one of the
Document Schema Definition Languages from http://www.dsdl.org/ i.e.
RELAX NG, Schematron, SVRL, DTLL, etc. I would recommend using those
as much as possible. Where you can't you'll have to implement custom
logic somehow; if interoperability with the Validator is a concern,
we'd need some interface for that. Which we don't have at the moment.
Perhaps you could describe what you were thinking of in more detail?
