I'd like to see the above mechanisms provide a "strict" level of auto-completion and static checking, in which programmers are actually limited to only generating legal paths and result trees. But I'd also like to see editors and processors providing a "lax" level of checking. Under the lax mode, the processor would, as George suggested, use the union of the possibilities to offer hints and provide warnings, but still allow the programmer to name elements that aren't actually permitted according to the schema. An editor or processor could offer this support without the stylesheet actually importing any schemas (with <xsl:import-schema>), which would help writers of non-schema-aware XSLT 2.0 as well. This "lax" level is particularly important since another emerging trend is the use of different schemas for the same document at different points in its lifecycle (as Mike has sometimes remarked in other contexts). The schema you are using may not be the schema for which the stylesheet was designed, and loose coupling still has advantages.
