Subject: Good or Bad should XSL validate tempaltes against a DTD/Schema

I've been doing some work recently with a FOSI and I've rediscovered that a FOSI is aware of the DTD that it is applied to. What I mean is that if I test for an attribute name or an enumerated value and that doesn't exist in the DTD I get a warning from the FOSI compiler. With XSLT I have several times hada typo in an element name or attribute and never gotten a warning and have sometimes spent hours trying to figure out why the stylesheet is not doing what I expected.

Seems to me like this would be a good thing, do you see any downside to this?
