What does an XML Schema implementation do if it isn't a validator?

I'm not attempting to be funny here, the vast majority of my XML work
has been document-oriented and I know little or nothing about schema
other than that it's a ferocious alphabet soup. The only one I've ever
looked at is W3C XML Schema, rather than RELAX-NG, Schematron or any of
the gazillion other things that turn up when you google for "XML Schema".

I've obviously missed something in that I had thought that the purpose
of XML Schema was specification, for us humans, and validation, for 
machines, so I'm kinda surprised to hear of two XML Schema 
implementations that aren't validators -- I'm forced to wonder what they 
do do.

Wasn't there also a rumour of W3C XML Schema support finding its way
into libxml2 at some stage?

I must admit that I have been waiting for the appearance of a perl 
implementation to play with, and I'd probably be a good deal less 
ignorant if such a thing did exist.

Cheers,

Emmet.
