Sounds fine with me.
I guess there is no harm repeating the same paragraph if the reason is the same for both cases.

So something like this?:

It is also recommended to define the its:rules element in your DTD or schema, for example in a header if there is one. The its:rules
element provides access to the its:termRule element which can be used to override terminology-related information globally.

How about: "this will allow authors to override or define terminology-related ..."
