Several, but if the documents are already valid, you shouldn't need the
schema just to transform them.
This kind of bulk processing is best done with a commandline processor
like Saxon, and a simple scripted loop. Remove any mention of the schema
from the documents (if there is one) using a stream editor before the
document is passed to the processor.
