Don't hesitate to ask if yo need help with this task.  In fact, if you were 
able to write up what you did to use PyTREX as a validator I would love to 
make this available to others.

I too am no friend of XSD.  We tend to use Schematron or Examplotron when we 
use schemas at all, but I like RELAX-NG/TREX.
