With SAX2, validation can be done either "inside" the parser, or as a clean layer [1] on top of it. Use the one that's appropriate in your application. XInclude doesn't demand that validation be done, or that it be done at any particular time ([2], first note in section 4.2) or using any particular rules (DTD, W3C Schema, RelaxNG, Schematron, etc). It's interesting that XInclude is specified as "infoset merging", which is a model that's very much attuned to SAX processing. If only it didn't use XPointer/XPath, thereby precluding pure stream-based processing models! - Dave [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/jaxp/apidoc/gnu/xml/pipeline/ValidationConsumer.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/
