I'm also interested in the W3C XML Schema + Embedded Schematron thingy.
Currently only WSX is not sufficient for a lot of structures we use
in our XML documents.
I tried to autogenerate C code (from the XML Schema for Schematron) for
the parsing of Schematron's instructions some time ago, but got
distracted with other things. If anyone wants to work on the Schematron
module, then I could dig this up again if it helps.
