I would like to see a bit more discussion before we go to a default
rule like this. Could you please give us an example of a use case
where we can see how you want to implement this?  That is, where is
the rule, how do I get my document instance checked with this rule?
If we adopt Schematron constraints in the Guidelines, we will also
need some prose to explain this kind of stuff (added to
SG-GentleIntroduction.xml?)

All the best,

Christian
