yep. relaxng and the bxe_xpath stuff and maybe css are the things which 
need to be changed. I don't know right now, how it behaves with empty 
elements. Have to check it, but it should work theoretically

the relaxng can be created by the with trang (google for it). A Java 
based Schema generator. You can feed it with your XML File and it will 
create a RNG file for you. If you need help about that part just ask.

BTW, I will release a 0.2Beta of BXE very soon. I made a lot of progress
