Maybe I'm being utterly dense or hopelessly pedantic, but it seems like simply
stating that sort of thing might address the cited concern.

To deal with [validity], trying my best to channel someone I have yet to meet:
When SML says a model is valid (or invalid), is it talking about XML Schema's
[validity] property, or a new SML property?  If a new one, what is the
relationship between [xs:validity] and what I'll dub [sml:validity], and what
values can [sml:validity] take on?

My own personal answer would I think be: [sml:validity], and its possible
values are true (valid) or false (invalid); the relationship between
xs:validity and sml:validity is in the SML conformance section (summarized from
memory, hence may need tweaking: [sml:validity]=true => [xs:validity]=true |
unknown , i.e. a valid SML model is always not-schema-invalid ).
