Sebastian,

thank you for the response and the test drive, I would be thankful for making
the test files available. I am especially interested in files with errors.

jing is written in Java; it memoizes better, and with longer sequences
will be faster. jing also treats attributes in a finer manner, reporting
name and value errors separately.

James Clark has provided very detailed instructions for implementors of Relax NG
validation, and with regard to the basic algorith, I have mostly followed the
guidelines (and looked at nxml and jing).

I am going to use this module to implement validating mode for an editor.
