Note

This element is semantically equivalent to the standard TEI milestone with rendition values. However, it may contain an optional desc child if further description of line is necessary.

The place attribute (which is borrowed from att.placement) has no bearing on rule elements that do not specify an extent less than 100% (which is the default).

Schematron

The place attribute only makes sense when extent is less than 100%

<sch:pattern>
   <sch:rule context="tei:rule[@place]">
      <sch:assert test="exists(@extent) and xs:integer(replace(@extent,'%','')) lt 100">ERROR: @place only makes sense if an @extent exists and is less than 100%.</sch:assert>
   </sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>

The extent of a rule should be between 1 and 100%

<sch:pattern>
   <sch:rule context="tei:rule[@extent]">
      <sch:let name="int" value="xs:integer(replace(@extent,'%',''))"/>
      <sch:assert test="$int = (1 to 100)">ERROR: @extent should be a percentage value between 1 and 100.</sch:assert>
   </sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>

We used to use the milestone element, but that construct is now deprecated.

<sch:pattern>
   <sch:rule context="tei:milestone">
      <sch:assert test="not(ancestor::tei:text)">ERROR: milestone elements for ruled lines are deprecated. Use <rule> instead.</sch:assert>
   </sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>
