Just so.  RNG validators accept a document and a schema
and reply either "Valid" or "Invalid with these errors..."

There are products which can look at foreign elements
and attributes embedded in an RNG schema and use them
to drive the construction of typed objects.  See
http://relaxng.org/#code-generators .

So we hope.
