Help yourself!

Have you ever seen and/or tried these special devices

    /dev/stderr, /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout

    resp. /proc/self/fd/0, /proc/self/fd/1, /proc/self/fd/2 ?

Your command lines would then look like

    myprog | xmlint --format /dev/stdin

    myprog | xmlint /dev/stdin | xsltproc validator.xslt /dev/stdin
