Maybe your are to quick with this estimation. Probably you are right.

But see:

1.) The only aim of TS is to be converted to a PHP-array.
2.) You can convert every PHP-array to XML.
3.) You can try to validate every XML with DTD or schema.

So the framework is already given. The question is, if a schema can be 
flexible enough to validate the structures defined in TS. I showed that 
DTD isn't. It is to limited in it's possibilities.

Probably it's the same for schema. But that is a question, that I can't 
answer with my current knowladge. So I ask for advice.

I should probably test what kind of XML can in fact be produced via 
array, first.
