Glance currently does not support XML and I have no plans in the
immediate future to add support for it.

IMHO, JSON can be validated just as easily as XML. Simply
json.loads(req.body) and then, if parsing succeeds, compare the
mapping against a model. No need for XSDs, WADLs, or any other
acronym.
