One comment. <validate> appears to have two roles. One is to create a
validation candidate and specify a schema. The other is to specify that
subsequent <attach/> will attach element segments to this validation
candidate. Meanwhile, <unwrap> specifies that subsequent <attach/> refer to
an already-established vaidation candidate without creating a new validation
candidate. Does it make sense to allow <validate/> to borrow the semantics
of <unwrap/>? For example, <validate schema="xhtml.rng" unwrap="true"/>
specifies

        a new validation candidate be created and validated against the
        the schema xhtml.rng, and

        subsequent <attach/> refer to an already-established vaidation candidate
        rather than this newly-created validation candidate.

I hope that this simplifies the example in the section "transparent namespaces".
