With implicit negation, the Schematron schema fragment is something like:

<assert test=
  " (a or b or not(c)) and
     (not(b) or d or not(e)) and
     (not(a) or c or e) and
     (not(c) or not(d) or not(e))" />

Note that, because we don't have to consume input sequentially against an
FSM, there seems no possiblity for explosions or expontiality here.
