RE: [relax-ng] Identity constraints

[Michael Fitzgerald <mike@wyeast.net>]

If I recall our earlier discussions on identity constraints correctly (in
2001, pre-1.0), I believe the TC was in agreement an keeping validation and
checking of constraints separate. I think having a separate module for
identity constraints naturally suggests separate processing or checking.
