Much more likely to get done if the some of the folks who are interested 
in an implementation in Xerces volunteer to do it. By folks I mean anyone 
not just the existing Xerces developers. There are a fewer active 
developers around here than there used to be with decreasing time 
available to work on the project. We really need more help from the 
community.

Well... you can already do that with the JAXP validation API or some 
cleverly written code which uses EventListeners to undo unwanted 
modifications.
