Is there a way to check whether an XPath expression could possibly be  
true for a document conforming to a particular W3C XML Schema (or  
Relax NG schema) without having access to the document? Is this  
something that toolkits support?

E.g. if the schema disallows /root/element/subelement, the XPath  
expression /root/element/subelement[0] cannot yield a non-null result  
for any conforming document.

Thanks,
Stefan
