I'm not sure using validation like this is the right approach... if
you get a No from the Yes/No result of validation, you then have to
pass it through your 'repair' code to fix it up, then re-validate...
then what if it fails again?

Ultimately if you have the code to repair the value, then its that
same code that will also be used to ensure correctness of the value in
the first place - no need for XSD involvement at that stage.
