1) bind typed datas. Although this is not about validation but rather
for applications, one could imagine to involve a typed data in an
assertion ; I don't know how Schematron could take care of that ; in any
case, before binding typed datas, Schematron cannot defined custom typed
datas
2) is there an implementation of schematron that can validate
extra-large documents (say 1GB) with XPath assertions that involve a
reverse axis ?
3) Schematron doesn't act on content models (that is to say to what is
allowed to find at some place) : within an editor, one can propose an
element that Schematron would refuse ; for this reason, acting on
content models is certainly more reliable or more smart...
