That's because the following is legal:

 <p:error>
  <p:with-option name="code" select="'foo'"/>
 </p:error>

It would be possible in RelaxNG (or XML Schema 1.1) to write the
co-occurence constraints that relate option attributes to p:with-option
children, but I don't blame Norm for ducking on that one. . .
