One of the projects I have been working on recently has been a proof-of-concept system to allow a rules-base approach to automatically classifying and annotating XML-in-ZIP documents. The approach we have taken is to use Schematron, using the report elements rather than the assert elements.

Thoughts on Schematron headers for processing ODF and OOXML, with a C# URL Resolver that handles ZIP files like some Java resolvers. The new XML-in-ZIP documents present a new challenge: constraints that formerly would have been kept in a single document are now split into multiple documents. When the basic information is kept in a single XML file, validation is reasonably straightforward.The current range of schema tools support these kinds of intra-document invariants quite well. But no document is an island, so Schematron also supports a range of intra-document constraints, but it may be time to enhance it to support the XML-in-ZIP issues better.
