Much more likely to get done if the some of the folks who are interested
in an implementation in Xerces volunteer to do it. By folks I mean anyone
not just the existing Xerces developers. There are a fewer active
developers around here than there used to be with decreasing time
available to work on the project. We really need more help from the
community.

Well... you can already do that with the JAXP validation API or some
cleverly written code which uses EventListeners to undo unwanted
modifications.
