ISO Schematron has a mechanism called a "Query Language Binding" which
lists the things required in order to use a different query language.

Part 6 should be a query language binding for Schematron. A Query Language
Binding can add any foreign elements or attributes it likes: for XSLT it
adds xsl:key for example. So you can already add any attributes you like
for buffering etc.

There is an example Query Language Binding document in an Annex of ISO
Schematron: it is for the default XSLT, but it can be used as boilerplate
text that you can change the details of.
