You might want to look at Gnosis Utilities, both gnosis.xml.validity and
gnosis.xml.objectify.  For discussions, see:

Maybe I discussed the issues elsewhere too.  The actual download is:

Not that I think Tim Bray was talking about my stuff, even indirectly.
But I'm still proud of these modules.

Yours, David...
