You could write some XSLT that generated a schema that would "validate"
your document. But then you have to ask what service validation is
providing.
If you are wanting type annotations (e.g. "this element contains the
person's European standard shoe size ") you might consider a mix
of W3C XML Schema and Schematron, perhaps with the Schematron XPath
constraints (number of rows equal to table/@num_rows) embedded as
schema annotations, or perhaps using a validation pipeline.
If you are not so concerned about element content, about the shape
of the text (the data) itself, RelaxNG or even DTD validation may
suffice, combined with either Schematron or application-specific
validation of other constraints. For other, less structural
examples, you could also consider using XForms.

No it isn't :-) Or if it was, and was sent to the list by mistake
(I have no way to tell) you must not read my reply.
Please try and use an email account that doesn't append nonsense
like this -- text such as "If you are not the intended recipient,
you must not copy, distribute, disclose or otherwise use the
information contained in it." is obviously not appropriate for
a public mailing list that may be mirrored and archived. When you
subscribed you gave permission for such activities.
