XMLSchema(self, etree=None, file=None) Turn a document into an XML Schema validator.

Either pass a schema as Element or ElementTree, or pass a file or filename through the `file` keyword argument.

Passing the `attribute_defaults` boolean option will make the schema insert default/fixed attributes into validated documents.
