I like pipelines, so I would be adding it as a preprocessor, to make its 
implementation
semantics very clear. But it would be simple macro inclusion of the 
children of the
referenced schema's root element (i.e.   
document($library)/sch:schema/*   IYSWIM).

Could you post an example of what it looks like?  How is this different from
  * phases
  * libraries
  * ISO DSDL's mooted Framework (perhaps rather like XPipeline)
  * ISO DSDL's  mooted Validation Candidate Selection Language (which 
extracts trees from the
  instance by namespace, and validates each individually against one or 
more schemas
  as appropriate) ?

I am very interested in this.  Any more details (or anyone else who had 
to implement something to
cope with scale)?
