Thanks I don't know exactly what you want here, but let us suppose that you want to have a processing-instruction <?xsdl-schema myschema.xsd?> that you can put into any xml document that needs to have myschema.xsd associated with it. If you open an xml document in the browser without an xsl-stylesheet associated with it the defaultss.xsl is used, this stylesheet is an older wd-xsl file found inside of msxml3.dll as a resource, you can replace this file if you want and add your own functionality, the way to do this is to get a program that gives you access to the resources inside of an .dll or .exe, in my case I use reshack.exe. Open up msxml3.dll with reshack.exe, you will see a folder structure similar to what you see in windows explorer, there will be a folder called 23, when you click that open there will be a folder called DEFAULTSS.XSL and under that will be a funny little icon that says 1033; this key holds the actual xsl file which you can then replace with an xslt more to your liking. I know of course that you don't want to use javascript or vbscript to do schema validation but if you look throughout this wd-xsl you will see that this is probably exactly what you will have to do. The idea of course is that you can write the script, pass it the entire xml document as parameter and get the schema name by checking against the xsdl-schema pi. Note I've never tried this but unless there should be security restrictions I can't see any problems. Once you have a stylesheet that works (I recommend testing it by just running it against the xml documents you want to test), overwrite the stylesheet in msxml3.dll, press the compile script button, save as msxml3backup.dll in your system32 folder, make sure you stop all processes that are currently using msxml3.dll, delete msxml3.dll and rename msxml3backup.dll as msxml3.dll. Note the first time you actually try to load an xml document into IE after doing this it will take 10 or 15 seconds. This by the way is dangerous stuff and if anything goes wrong I disavow any responsibility :) however it has allowed me to provide functionality more in keeping with my own needs for generic xml documents in IE and I suppose that it can help others to do the same.
