RE:  basic processors handling validation lax
It's certainly not allowed at the moment:

 [ERR XTSE1660]  A basic XSLT processor  must signal a static error if the
stylesheet includes an [xsl:]type attribute, or an [xsl:]validation or
default-validation attribute with a value other than strip.

But it seems a reasonable idea. Raise it on the W3C bugzilla.
