Assuming you are talking about XSV
(http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/xmlschema/), I had a short look at this once
when I studied XPath. Unless I'm missing something obvious, it seems
that the XPath support in it is quite incomplete. E.g. where is the
evaluation of binary operators, or function calls to the builtin
functions?

Appart from that, I find the implementation strategy for XPath, well,
interesting...

I can't comment on the schema validation itself, as I don't understand
that spec at all (I haven't even read it).

XSV also has a file called XMLInfoset.py. I'm not sure how that
integrates with a parser; you may need to use LT XML.
