Another strange thing I noticed with XML Schema validation: if you define an archetype with content="mixed", then in the absence of any archetype ordeing attribute, the elements can appear in any order in instances of that archetype.  But if you define the archetype with content="elemOnly",

You can pretty much do that now with V3. There is a 'reuse validator' flag on the parse() call. If you get the validator loaded up once, you can just force the use of that validator on subsequent parses. The files being parsed cannot have any internal subset if you do this, they can only have a
