Oleg,

I should have said, "which are highly context dependent and would be 
cumbersome to express outside the processor."  I simply don't know how 
expressive XML Schema is.  I had in mind, for example, the kinds of 
constraints involved with the use of certain functions.  On a slightly 
different tack, I was also uncertain of the target audience for the 
schema.  The vast majority of instances of fo: elements and associated 
attributes will occur in stylesheets such that the final shape of the 
fo: elements cannot be determined except by running the transformation.
