Excellent. Be warned that the interfaces might change a bit. I'm thinking of 
having a single ConfigurationValidator that is capable of having multiple 
child-components that know how to handle different schemas. That way if you 
are aggregating blocks from different sources with different schema types, 
you won't get bitten.

I took a brief look at Schematron, looks neat. Its based mostly on xpath 
though, right?

One reason I was going in the RELAX-NG direction, is that I don't think it 
will be tooo difficult to automatically build a GUI from a good schema def.
