I am a little guy that needs XML Schema validation for inputs to the XSL
processor.
In my project I build a component that recives XML from different sourses
and generates SQL statements to insert or update data in a relational
database. In this situation I need to check XML for conformance with the
data model I have designed. 
In another situation, when clients recive XML from the component after a
query, they can be 100% sure that it's well formed, so they don't need any
schema validation for further transformations. Any validation implies a
performance penalty.

As mentioned in previous messages the only way to satisfy all of the users
is to let the posibility to switch the schema validation ON and OFF.

In my opinion, the schema validation must be a feature that permits usage of
"Design by Contract" paradigm in the project. It must not be a feature that
makes XSL a strongly typed language.
