and you think the people who can’t write Schematron can write a Pure ODD construct which has different models for <p>?

if you can’t grok XPath at all, frankly you can’t expect  to get far in working with XML at the level where you talk about constraints.
after all, one suspects that most people dont know or care anything about schemas or constraints of any kind.
