Given that XML Schema doesn't provide any facilities for customising error
messages anywhere else (e.g. for failures to match the grammar of a complex
type, failure to match a regular expression, key/keyref failures, etc) do
you think there is a good case to treat assertions differently? Or is it
just an expectation that comes from what Schematron does?
