I'm not saying that such an API wouldn't be nice to have, but the  
statement you make is akin certainly does not match the expectations  
of the folks I've been working with who have long been waiting for  
NVDL implementations. What we need is tools to validate compound  
documents, nothing more. There's quite a bunch of folks out there who  
might be interested in validating the likes of XHTML+SVG.
