Andrew Kuchling started some work, currently checked into the PyXML
CVS repository in the "datatypes" directory of the sandbox module (not
the xml module).  I don't really know what the state of it is.

I'd really like to see Andrew's RELAX-NG package be finished and made
part of the standard PyXML distribution as well (it's also hidden in
the sandbox).  I offered to help work on it at one point, but then
never found the time to do so.  ;-(

Eric, perhaps you'd like to take a look at that code and see if it
works for what you're trying to do with XVIF, and help out with
general RELAX-NG support.  ;-)
