AFAIK you have to register your own error-handlers in the Sax interface
and then do something there. I did that for better error-reporting in
php's domxml (not committed yet, if anyone is interested, there's a patch
at http://trash.chregu.tv/domxml_CVS_HEAD_validation.diff and it's not
finished yet...). You get quite a lot of information during parsing. But I
couldn't manage to get much useful information during validation with
xmlValidateDocument() (just the standard error message).
