I asked the same question (basically) and got this answer...

Jeff mentioned that he'll be posting updates for the new datatypes. In addition the validator is just about set up to plug in datatype support. Look in org.apache.xerces.validators.schema.XSchemaValidator$DatatypeValidatorRegist ry for details. There's some public API on XMLParser that is needed to enable this, but that would be a small change. TEd
