Abstract

This document has, as its subject, an XSLT 2.0 implementation of Schematron. The aim is to enable users familiar with XSLT but unfamiliar with Schematron to gain the benefits of using another form of validation

It does not yet consider other implementations. It does diverge from the Topologi implementation at schematron.com
