The "sch:rule" element is part of Schematron patterns. The SML spec uses the term "rule" to indicate a set of Schematron constraints. In other words, SML 'rules' are defined by using Schematron rules. In addition, the spec specifies 'rules' for determining validity. We should clarify the use of 'rules' in the SML spec, particularly in section 5.
