I should think this is possible using schema-aware XSLT 2.0.

A variant on the identity transform. Specify
default_validation="strip" on the xsl:transform/stylesheet element
(this isn't necessary, but it helps to document the purpose of the
transformation, I think).
Then add template rules to match the elements you wish to validate.
The body of the template should be an xsl:copy-of instruction with 
validation="strict" spefified.

Untested.
