[xsl] Good or Bad should XSL validate tempaltes against a DTD/Schema

[Dan Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been doing some work recently with a FOSI and I've rediscovered that 
a FOSI is aware of the DTD that it is applied to. What I mean is that if 
I test for an attribute name or an enumerated value and that doesn't exist 
in the DTD I get a warning from the FOSI compiler. With XSLT I have 
several times hada typo in an element name or attribute and never gotten 
a warning and have sometimes spent hours trying to figure out why the 
stylesheet is not doing what I expected.

Seems to me like this would be a good thing, do you see any downside to 
this?
