Hi,
        the answer is no. This is frequently asked for functionality and 
is 
part of the DOMConfiguration stuff I have been starting to implement. I 
intend to look at how big a task this is in the next few weeks. We have 
had to implement the "validate" command for Pathan 2 
(software.decisionsoft.com) and Alby has made the situation slightly 
better than this. We still have to parse to serialize, but we only 
serialize the part of the document that requires validation. This may be 
of use to you.
