Take a look at:

  URL: http://lexis.di.fct.unl.pt/ADaLIB/xml.htm

It is not fully validating (as per the W3C specs) on its own, but I find it
very useful. When I need to validate in detail I use it to convert the XML
input into Prolog predicates and then validate in Prolog, which I find the
most fitting language for the job.

I do not know of any other XML processing tool in Ada.

There is OpenToken, a general parsing tool; but then there is also package
GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns, which can be used also as a general parsing tool ;-)

I have in my plans to develop a package more in accordance with W3C
standards (DOM, XSL, XSLT, XPath, etc.)--I will let you know when that
happens. Also, if someone is willing to help... ;-)
