[xep-support] Suppressing validation errors

[Douglas_Morrison at contractor.amat.com]

Dear Support,

I am getting error messages from XEP when it processes xsl produced by 
Arbortext Styler. I am told by Arbortext that XEP ought to be ignoring at 
least some of the 'errors'. Examples:

>{![error] Attribute 'generator' cannot occur at element 'fo:root'.}
>dcm: caused by <fo:root atixslfoext:generator="Arbortext Styler">

Arbortext say that the property in namespace 'atixslfoext' (which is 
declared) ought ot be ignored.

>{![error] Element 'fo:wrapper' cannot be a child of 'fo:root'.}
>{![error] Attribute 'id' cannot occur at element 'fo:wrapper'.}
>dcm: caused by <fo:wrapper id="styler-id-the_end"/>


>{?[warning] Element 'fosi-passthru' belongs to an unknown namespace}
>dcm: caused by <atixslfoext:fosi-passthru>

Arbortext say that the element in namespace 'atixslfoext' (which is 
declared) ought ot be ignored.

>{![error] Attribute 'master-reference' cannot occur at element 
'fo:block'.}
>{![error] Attribute 'initial-page-number' cannot occur at element 
'fo:block'.}
>{![error] Attribute 'format' cannot occur at element 'fo:block'.}
>dcm: caused by
> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
> <fo:block>
> <xsl:attribute name="break-before">odd-page</xsl:attribute>
> <xsl:attribute name="master-reference">mainbody-page</xsl:attribute>
> <xsl:attribute name="initial-page-number">auto-odd</xsl:attribute>
> <xsl:attribute name="format">1</xsl:attribute>

Arbortext say their code sometimes emits non-inheritable properties of FOs 
where they
aren't applicable, but this isn't an error. XEP should just ignore them.

I appreciate that validation is useful, and I wouldn't want to turn it off 
entirely. Is there anything I can do to stop these validation error 
messages (for example adding a chunk of xsl, or modifying the validation 
in some way) and allow the conversion to pdf to continue?
