Right. And you can wrap that up in a custom step that you reuse and
get just want you want. Here's an example that returns the validated
document and an empty result port or the unvalidated document and an
error report:

<p:declare-step type="ex:validate-with-relax-ng" name="main">
  <p:input port="source"/>
  <p:input port="schema" sequence="true"/>
  <p:output port="result" primary="true">
    <p:pipe step="tryvalidation" port="result"/>
  </p:output>
  <p:output port="report" sequence="true">
    <p:pipe step="tryvalidation" port="report"/>
  </p:output>

  <p:try name="tryvalidation">
    <p:group>
      <p:output port="result">
        <p:pipe step="xmlvalidate" port="result"/>
      </p:output>
      <p:output port="report" sequence="true">
        <p:empty/>
      </p:output>

      <p:validate-with-relax-ng name="xmlvalidate">
        <p:input port="source">
          <p:pipe step="main" port="source"/>
        </p:input>
        <p:input port="schema">
          <p:pipe step="main" port="schema"/>
        </p:input>
      </p:validate-with-relax-ng>
    </p:group>
    <p:catch name="catch">
      <p:output port="result">
        <p:pipe step="main" port="source"/>
      </p:output>
      <p:output port="report">
        <p:pipe step="id" port="result"/>
      </p:output>
      <p:identity name="id">
        <p:input port="source">
          <p:pipe step="catch" port="error"/>
        </p:input>
      </p:identity>
    </p:catch>
  </p:try>
</p:declare-step>

That's a bug. Fixed in github. You'll now get multiple c:error
elements in a c:errors wrapper. I also fixed it in XSD and improved
the report for DTD validation from p:load.

Indeed.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
