Sorry you had difficulties -- I'd be happy to receive feedback on how
things didn't go well for you.  Without such feedback, I'm handicapped
in trying to improve things.

It's worth noting that XSV exposes both source and schema in an
Infoset-compliant form, and has by far the most flexible support for
different approaches to determining which schema documents to use for
validation.
