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!
