Yes, you are absolutely right ;)

As to only validation, you might be interested in NMatrix project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetopensrc/

And just yesterday, I reached to one milestone of my experimental
RELAX NG validating reader, which is similar to XmlValidatingReader.
Today I uploaded it:
http://www24.brinkster.com/ginga/RelaxngValidatingReader/

It is very primitive, little informative, and maybe buggy.
It now could validate relaxng.rng with relaxng.rng itself.

At first, I implemented it only for Mono, but now I hope 
to separate from mono and let non-mono people use it.
I dare release it under public domain license,
but (of course) I'd like to contribute it.

Best wishes,
