Yes. I am also pondering eg: attributes to allow elements (an
attributes) from other namespaces...

Yes, I am convinced that these languages might be tied together.
My first thoughts have been to add eg:assert attributes to add
Schematron like rules...
Unfortunately, since examplotron is performing namespace URIs rewriting,
this is not obvious to translate namespace aware XPath paths... and I
need to find a solution for this issue.
This might be done using a XML XPath serialization, but it would very
verbose.
Thanks
Eric (more than ever convinced that attribute and element values should
never have use QNames).
