I agree. It's extremely easy to provide an XML validator (WF or
valid) as a service, using Xerces, which is already in the source
tree. Where, when and how the validation occurs varies enormously
during a document life cycle, and it's IMO foolish to pretend that
validation is some sort of monolithic process that is applied only
at one specific stage.
