I have used the old skeleton1-5.xslt. This is extremely useful, but had a
couple of problems from my point of view. I don't know whether it is useful
for you to know of these if you are doing a new version.
The first is that I found I had to be very careful on the context of the
rules to make sure that the right one was run. For example, I might write a
rule for all elements A, then another for element A when it contained an
element B. I'm sure you can see the problem - the prioritisation of XSLT
templates would stop the first rule running if the A in question contained a
B. The intention was for both to run. The workaround is easy, but it is easy
to miss the problem, especially as I write my rules as a spreadsheet with a
context for each rule (easier to review with business people) then create
the Schematron automatically from that.
The second problem is just the fact that skeleton1-5.xslt produces an HTML
output. Producing an XML output is much more flexible. Not a problem for me
to change, but it would be useful if this were the standard as HTML can
always be produced from this.
