There has been some effort in this area. The internal code of the  
validator, however still mostly in a single perl script, is more and  
more divided into independent packages.

I don't think it's a matter of decision power at this point, but more  
of whether  a dedicated contributor makes it happen. At the moment the  
staffing for development of this validator is limited, and we are  
looking at building the next-generation of tools with a renewed team  
of open source contributors. If anyone is interested, please contact me.
