Woodstox only implements DTD support natively, Schema
and RNG are handled using other libraries.
For validation, it uses MSV (Sun Multi-Schema
Validator) as a plug-in, using a simple wrapper. That
is why I thought it actually might also make sense for
VTD. It may not be as fast as having native support,
but anyone doing validation should expected some
additional performance overhead (IMO).
Of course, it is possible to start with a plug-in, and
given more time, implement native support.

Actually, I still haven't finished up W3C Schema
integration, only RelaxNG integration. This because
Schema is bit more invasive, as it needs to accesss
attributes in elements (xsi:type, schemaLocation),
whereas RNG is more modular.

Kind of, and also, the character from Peanuts cartoon.
I think one of my co-workers suggested it, starting
from "Stax". I think another alternative someone
suggested was "Fastax".
