I made up the existing names, and I don't mind changing them.
Can we decide quite quickly, though?

But I'd recommend _not_ using <rule>, cos that means
something spcific in Schematron. It's not technically
a problem, but I'd say it is worth avoiding if we can.

<constraintSpec> and <constraint> would be fine to
(as would ruleDef and rule if everyone prefers).
