[Mono-list] xml schema support

Hello,

At least we won't support 1999 WD version of XSD (We even don't
support XDR).

Mono's XmlValidatingReader is halfly designed to be pluggable. But
I personally disagree the idea to incorporate other validating
language than XML Schema and DTD (and possibly XDR, that is not
supported and won't be supported for now).

They should be possible to be independently implemented outer
System.Xml.dll. I don't know what 1999 version of XSD is, but
System.Xml.Schema (and Mono.Xml.Schema) code might be reusable
to implement another Xml Schema validating reader.

(BTW XmlValidatingReader is obsoleted in .NET 2.0.)
