I'm reasonably confident about it.

The good part is that you can start by using it, then if later you find
out that something is wrong, you could turn to other libraries for the
validation. For example, one of my personal projects is a validation API
(http://iso-relax.sourceforge.net/JARV/) that can be combined with JAXB.
You can drive Xerces through this API (http://www.kohsuke.org/jarv/xerces/)

JAXB is well modularized, so you can combine it with many other XML
technologies.
