I am not implying that this gives us an implementation, by the way;
it does confirm the concept, however, and  shows how we could
solve the problem in the future.

to see how this works in practice, consider this extracted example:

<egXML xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/Examples"><TEI>
  <teiHeader> <!-- .... --> </teiHeader>
    <front>
<!-- front matter of copy text, if any, goes here -->
    </front>
    <body>
<!-- body of copy text goes here -->
    </body>
    <back>
<!-- back matter of copy text, if any, goes here -->
    </back>
 </TEI>
</egXML>

If I do a normal validation, I am told

/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:2:41: error: element "teiHeader" incomplete; missing required element "fileDesc"
/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:3:12: error: element "front" not allowed here; expected element "facsimile", "fsdDecl" or "text"

/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:12:8: error: element "TEI" incomplete; expected element "facsimile", "fsdDecl" or "text"

but with jing's -f option, I get just

rahtz at rahtz:~/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5$ jing -f p5odds-examples.rng foo.xml
/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:3:12: error: element "front" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "facsimile", "fsdDecl" or "text"
/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:6:11: error: element "body" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "facsimile", "fsdDecl" or "text"
/home/rahtz/TEI/Sourceforge/trunk/P5/foo.xml:9:11: error: element "back" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "facsimile", "fsdDecl" or "text"

ie it detects the missing <text> but goes no further.

This is exactly the result we want.
