The licensing problems can be solved by writing the validation 
transformer in terms of the JARV api, 
http://iso-relax.sourceforge.net/JARV/. Then JARV have a run time 
discovery mechanism for finding the actual implementation of the schema 
language, http://iso-relax.sourceforge.net/JARV/JARV.html#discovery.

There are a couple of different implementations of JARV 
http://iso-relax.sourceforge.net/JARV/JARV.html#download, MSV (RELAX 
NG/Core/Namespace, TREX, W3C XML Schema, XML DTD) and Jing (RELAX NG) 
has built in JARV support and there is an external JARV driver 
http://www.kohsuke.org/jarv/xerces/ for Xerces2 (W3C XML Schema). JARV 
and the Xerces2 driver has AFAIU MIT License.

So by using JARV we get validation with Jing, Xerces2 and Jing without 
licensing problems and people who want to use MSV, just need to download 
it and change the configuration.

J2SE 1.5 contains a validation api javax.xml.validation that is a 
superset of JARV and there is a adaptor from JARV to that interface 
http://www.kohsuke.org/jarv/tiger/.

Still it is a bad if we not can include MSV. It contains a schema data 
type library with validation and Java conversion for all XML Schema data 
types, that IMO would be useful in CForms for adding XML Schema data 
types as well.
