See http://www.docuverse.com/personal/freedom/index.html I don't have personal experience with this package, but from xml-dev and www-dom postings, I know that FREE-DOM uses the SAX interface to support any of several Java XML parsers, and produces a set of data structures that can be accessed with the DOM APIs. So in principle, you should be able to do more or less what you've done with XML4JAVA with FREE-DOM. I'm also excited to hear about your project because the DOM WG and mailing lists have discussed whether/when the DOM should support XML validation APIs. I've thought that this would be a good APPLICATION for the DOM, e.g., a XMLValidate JavaBean that uses the DOM to access the DTD information and the document structure in order to answer the kinds of questions you pose, and more generally, to allow the kinds of dynamic validation that XML editors will need to do.
