That wasn't how I interpreted what Evan was saying. He said that the schema would still supply the same Infoset as it would if the document were validated against an equivalent DTD -- including default attribute values and presumably default element values, given the definition that he gave. So I don't think that non-pollution was *his* reason. I do think that the ability to not have the Infoset "polluted" by augmentations that affect the structure of the node tree is a good thing. But if I wanted that, I'd probably do the validation outside the XSLT process, or not at all, rather than as part of the XSLT process. It's an interesting, and separate, I think, question as to whether a flag that indicates whether a document is valid or not should be available within the stylesheet. From what I can tell, there's no way of working that out at the moment -- an element that isn't valid looks just the same as one that is valid against the xs:anyType type.
