Just, FTR, both of these are getting real world, adhoc implementations. At O'Reilly, an AtomPub server validates all of the collections that <accept>application/docbook+xml</accept> against the DocBook 4.4 DTD (our fave) (so XSI isn't useful). Additionally, we're talking about (so XSI isn't useful) Schematron validation to ensure that all entries in a Collection have embedded RDF needed to identify them.
