You usually hear that an xslt processor does validation of a stylesheet 
faster and better than any XML Schema would allow.  The schema would 
have minimal pedagogical value since it would be difficult for most 
students to read and understand, and would not provide enough 
information to teach them how to use xslt anyway.  For readability, the 
RNG version (in compact notation) would be better.

So what is left for the schema to accomplish?  Guiding an editor, a Bob 
suggested, might be about the only thing.

Cheers,
