XLinkIt is better than Schematron, as far as power and completeness,
especially if you need to check constraints between multiple documents
using a server. http://www.xlinkit.com/ But it does not embed in
XML Schemas AFAIK and has a much steeper learning curve.
Examplotron is better than Schematron if your document structures
are fairly simple and your constraints are fairly simple. http://www.examplotron.org/
But it does not embed in XML Schemas AFAIK and only has a
single implementation so far.
I suspect you can use RELAX NG for that too. But I don't expect
many people will be embedding RELAX schemas inside XML Schemas :-)

If you decide to adopt Schematron (+ DTDs, or +XML Schemas, or + RELAX)
from the start, you will have more leeway to structure your documents naturally.
Each schema language can do less. And you can rapidly add constraints to
handle/expose particular issues.
