Answering my own mail :)
Tomcat uses org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig class located 
inside server/lib/catalina.jar library to parse web.xml. Internally it 
looks like it uses SAX parser, but also some kind of validator. I'm not 
sure whether it would be reasonable to use this solution, since it is 
too specific container-centric. I think it would be better writing our 
own class, without validation.

What do you think?
