Indeed. However, I have been investigating representing constraints
upon the infoset items using RDF, and the results seem rather
promising - for example in the field of testing XML languages for
accessiblity. Because syntactic schemata are simply constraints on the
structure of particular infoset instances, I thought it would be a
good idea to try to represent these syntactic constraints in RDF, and
then apply semantic constraints on top of that.

- Sands: Syntax and Semantics for XAG

XAG is the XML Accessibility Guidelines: this document was originally
prepared for WAI PF; for testing accessibility of XML languages, but
it encompasses a lot of other things too. TAG may also be interested.
