So I think you need a paragraph in your introduction saying that the
syntax of element values is constrained by the provided RNG grammar,
which is normative; the text in the main body of the specification is
explanatory, but implementation MUST generate and parse content
conforming to the schema.

The term "boolean" has well-defined semantics in math and in computer
language type theory.  It is not applicable to an "action" in either
of these senses.  But I don't care, it's obvious what you mean.
