After parsing an XML document into a DOM using a System.Xml.ValidatingReader to validate against a custom XSD, is there any lasting correlation between the in-memory DOM and the XSD that was utilized during validation? In particular, I am interested in, for a given arbitrary System.Xml.XmlNode (guaranteed to have been validated against an XSD), retrieving a number of element- and attribute-specific SOM objects that describe the schema types to which the node conformed during validation.
This seems like it should be easy to do -- such as the returned System.Xml.XmlDocument being implemented as something like System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaDocument (subclassing XmlDocument, containing System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaNode nodes) that must be upcasted to access additional extended schema properties -- but my Googling and searching in the System.Xml and System.Xml.Schema namespaces turns up nothing that indicates that this is possible.
