I have written a schema and I want to use Xerces to validate it

xerces-users,
The following is a direct quote from the xerces 1 FAQ:

I want to validate a schema for which I do not have a corresponding
instance document. Am I to infer from the wording of this FAQ answer
that there is no possible way in xerces 1 to take a schema, convert
it to an instance by inserting the appropriate attributes into the
root element, and parse it against the schema for schema?  
thanks,
