You'd need to check the Schema. That's something
VTD-XML is not designed to deal with. You could of
course parse schema with it, but that just gives you
InfoSet... you really need something more to give more
convenient access to schema.

Now, if you are thinking of heuristically checking if
there happens to be any mixed content, that is bit
harder... since white space may or may not count,
depending on schema (or dtd, rng). Besides, VTD-XML
implicitly ignores some of the white space -- it'll
still be in source document contents, there just won't
be matching event (if I understand things correctly).
Most of the time this works out ok, but may be
surprising if one is used to other APIs which expose
the full infoset (white space still is part of info
set, even if most of the time is not used for
anything).

Once you have that info (whether mixed content is
allowed), you can use VTD-XML for accessing things.
