What about larger company example where everyone needs to use the same
structure with various XSL files. The XSL validation code should then be
duplicated in each of them? And in some cases, people need their own
specific stylesheets...thats a perfect opportunity to create incompatible
documents. And versioning of document structures can be done on a much
easier way by using DTD.

But, in case that the above isnt an issue, the question that I have is: on
which way do we gain performance,
By using validating parser and processing it through a light stylesheet or
by using nonvalidating parser and processing it through a heavier
(validating) stylesheet?
