Re: [xsl] Reasons for using XSLT to validate XML instances?

+ you can use same xslt to check input data for client-side and
server-side, maybe in some cases it even more simple - convert xsd (by
xslt - not "hands") to schematron rules (almost same as xslt) for
interoperability

validation problems cannot be solved by Schematron and must be solved by
XSLT.
