XML Schemas has no equivalent to Schematron's pattern. Sure, but I find that a common syntax does help looking at the similarities and differences of the existing rule based and pattern based languages. I agree that the correspondence is probably one way (a pattern may be written as a rule but a rule cannot always be written as a pattern). On the other hand, rule that can be expressed as patterns use to be simpler to write and understand as patterns than as rules. I strongly believe, then, that a pattern based language allowing to define additional local rules would be a good compromise. And that a common syntax does help top get the picture...
