Just in case you're interested (and since similar topics have come up a couple of times on lxml's mailing list), I added a doc section on parse-time schema validation in lxml 2.0 here: http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/trunk/doc/objectify.txt Look out for section 2, "Asserting a Schema". It's not yet included in the online docs at http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/objectify.html but it will appear there by the end of the week.
