[oXygen-user] Schematron validation "errors" enhancement

[John Madden]

Hi George,

Thanks for letting me try a snapshot with the new Schematron enhancement. It works great for me. I've tried both the role attribute and the text keyworkd mechanism.

Observations:

(1) For the role attribute mechanism, the documentation should mention that although @role is allowed on <rule> elements, its presence there does not reset any validation parameters in this implementation. It's only when @role occurs on a <report> or <assert> element. (I tripped up on this one).

(1a) Alternatively, you could consider a convention where making @role on <rule> elements reset the default error level for all child <report> or <assert> element, i.e. make it so that any child <report> or <assert> elements that lack an explicit @role value will inherit the value from the parent <rule>. This makes some sense, but may be a stretch. What do people think?

(2) The icon for "fatal" errors is the same as for "error" errors. Would be nice to differentiate these icons.

(3) Very clever how you have a separate "Info" pane in the validation view that lists schematron outputs at the "info" level. Nice touch.
