By coincidence, I've been experimenting with Schematron recently to
validate a log of captured SOAP messages against a set of XPath  
assertions:

http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/addr/testsuite/observer/

So far, I'd say it's looking very promising - there may be a few bugs  
in there,
and I did have to get some help on the XSL-list to match QNames, but  
beyond
that, so far Schematron seems very simple, and yet very powerful.
