There are 5 standard Validation Languages:

1. DTD
2. XML Schemas
3. RelaxNG
4. Schematron
5. OASIS CAM

But the following technologies have been created to only utilize one of them
(XML Schemas):

a. XSLT 
b. XPath 
c. XQuery 
d. SOAP
e. WSDL

(I am sure that there are others)

The W3C seems to be sending a clear message, "if you're not XML Schemas then
you're not invited to the party".  /Roger
