Not sure if I explained that well but here is what i've done and no syntax error given..


I was following the advice from http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/02/11/relaxtron.html?page=2

" it is recommended that you embed the Schematron rules in one
of two places:

1. Insert all the embedded Schematron rules at the beginning of the RELAX NG schema as a child of the top-level element. Then you always know that if you have embedded rules, they will be specified together and in the same place.

2. Specify each Schematron rule on the element pattern that specifies the context of the embedded rule. In the previous example this means that one of the Schematron rules would be embedded on the element pattern for the item element and the other on the element pattern for the amount element in the payment section."

I've been writing and testing the schematron rules in a separate files. Ideally I suppose I would just import that file.

I don't understand that.  An element placed after the document (top-level)
element would not be well-formed XML.
