Interesting paralel with industrie !

But you should also be aware that Schemas *are* the way to make
Continued Process Control (and not only statistical)

And three and a half of the available schema languages available for
doing this *are* in XProc :
* XML Schema
* Relax NG
* Schematron
* DTD (that's the half which is hidden in p:load)

So I think that we don't need SPC when we already have CPC
