Microsoft added schema validation when no clear standard was available, so 
they implemented something called XDR (XML Data Reduced); their policy is 
now to migrate to the W3C spec (MSXML 4.0 supports W3C schema), and they 
published a tool to help the migration from XDR to XSD 
(http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/539/msdncompositedoc.xml)

It's not so difficult to instanciate MSXML, even without MFC; have a look 
at the sample file at
