I'm starting to like this idea too. I'm already using Schematron
experimentally to catch things that I can't otherwise test. (Like
forcing glossterm links to only point to glossentrys and forbidding
nested footnotes. (Some of these I can express in RELAX NG, but I started
the Schematron experimentation when I was still relying on DTDs))
