The "shall at user option report warning message" bit doesn't work for me.
The processor may not be running interactively. A RELAX NG processor might
be built into the firmware of a fridge. An implementation may have not any
way to report an error or to support user options.
I think the critical point that the spec needs to make is that a RELAX NG
processor does not become non-conformant merely because it does not support
some datatype library. Also if an implementation claims conformance, it
should as part of that claim state what datatype libraries it supports.
