When developing examples, I often find self-referential approaches to be illuminating as the reader is then working with the end result of the technology being described and can actually see the results of it having been in action. Perhaps you could write schemas for your thesis prose and practice with namespaces by using alternate vocabularies for embedded tables of information captured as part of your research. You could then write XSLT stylesheets to produce XSL-FO output that is then formatted to a PDF deliverable, all documented in a colophon as an informative annex to the thesis. Your proof of understanding and illumination is then in the hands of the reader! I hope this helps. ...............
