How to make Xalan Schema-aware?

           Summary: How to make Xalan Schema-aware?

Xalan will read a document's DTD (via its DOCTYPE statement) and use it to 
provide attribute defaults and replacement text for general entity references.  
In fact, if the DTD cannot be located, it throws a 
java.io.FileNotFoundException.  Of course, it performs no *validation* against 
a DTD.

How can one get this same behavior in an XML Schema environment?

We wish to get attribute defaults from a W3C XML Schema in our 
transformations.  I have looked extensively for a mechanism to do this, but 
have been unable to find one.  The JAXP 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory's setAttribute() method could be a good 
way to turn on such "Schema-awareness."  This technique is used in Xerces in 
both SAX and DOM.
