Xerces incremental parsing can validate, depending on how you configure the parser. That's been true for quite some time...

Whether you call it a "pull parser" may be open to debate; it's an incremental SAX (or XNI) parser, which some folks consider a slightly different beast. (That crew would insist that a true pull parser would have to return nodes one at a time directly to the routine which requested them, rather than delivering bursts of nodes through an event stream. Capabilities are similar, but the programming approach is a bit different.)
