Description

Thank you for this great tool, which has improved a lot with regards to usability. It would be great to implement a schematron validation while editing, so that plausibility checks can be done inside the editor without using external tools.

Research direction

The issue proposes Schematron validation while editing in XML Notepad but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the editor's existing validation flow and determining how Schematron rules would be supplied and evaluated. Done should include in-editor plausibility checks with a clear validation result.
