I guess we differ about co-constraints.  The tableaux in the spec. [1]
are pretty clear to me -- I don't see any confusion arising.  Maybe I
don't use XSLT enough :-).  People will make one of the two mistakes
above, get the obvious error message, and learn their lesson.

After all, the constraints can be expressed in Relax-NG, so why are
you worrying :-)?
