Perhaps it's just the Lisp programmer in me but the metacircularity asthetic seems to me to suggest that one should be able to write an XSLT transformation which can validate a document against a schema. If one can't then the language is either insufficiently powerful or has be fettered or crippled in some inappropriate way. you probably could for the structural part of schema (cf schematron) ie the "complex" types but you can't really support the "simple" datatypes without extending XSLT as that requires (at least) regexp support, date handling and other primitive operations that certainly you could in theory code in XSLT but you don't really want to.
