You can invoke a schema validator on the input or output documents but
(a) this has nothing to do with XSLT
(b) there's no standard API for it yet.

XSLT 2.0 supports validation from within the stylesheet (but it's not
currently supported in Saxon), and Java APIs to control validation are
coming along soon.
