No, I can't; I appear to have ascribed to Relax NG powers beyond those of
mortal validators.
Looking at the code for MSV, I see that the XSD library is written so that
datatypes that need comparison implement an interface named Comparator;
whether such a thing would be possible to add to the API for a custom
datatype library, and whether that would solve the problem is beyond my
programming expertise. That would be a question for a Relax NG
implementer to answer.
