I suggest that if there is any place where schematron per se needs to be 
discussed in the Guidelines, it should be in the "Gentle Intro" chapter, 
since this "...attempts to give an informal introduction to those parts 
of XML of which a proper understanding is necessary to make best use of 
these Guidelines"

Of course, Schematron isn't exactly XML, but then neither is RelaXNG, 
which is also informally presented in this chapter, precisely because "a 
proper understanding" (read : cocktail party chat competence) of it is 
needed to grok how the Guidelines work. Same thing for Schematron, surely?

How much needs to be added to what is already there in
