Ok, I'll look it.

Well, looking at libxml2's Schematron API, it seems quite similar to 
the RelaxNG and Schema APIs, which are already in LibXML.xs. Maybe 
you could have a look at them and contribute? (Use a fresh CVS 
checkout). XS is not that hard to learn after all and in RNG you 
will have a template to start with. I guess it would be worth it, 
schematron is cool!
