Re:  Schema validation on a function parameter
You can simplify it a little to

<xsl:function name="my:function">
   <xsl:param name="e" as="element()"/>
   <xsl:variable name="e" as="schema-element(my:element)">
       <xsl:copy-of select="$e" validation="strict"/>
   </xsl:variable>
   ... do something here
 </xsl:function>

If you do this a lot you could also try

<xsl:function name="my:validate" as="element(*, xs:anyType)">
  <xsl:param name="e" as="element()"/>
   <xsl:variable name="e" as="schema-element(*, xs:anyType)">
       <xsl:copy-of select="$e" validation="strict"/>
   </xsl:variable>
</xsl:function>

<xsl:function name="my:function">
   <xsl:param name="e" as="element()"/>
   ... do something here with my:validate($e)
 </xsl:function>
