Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I'm familiar with this
"theory", but practically speaking, you may nevertheless want to
associate RELAX NG with instance documents for, e.g., guided editing
with an XML editor; there seem to be other circumstances where the
existence of a mechanism for such an association is useful.
