============================================
All well and good, but the certainty of retribution is
better.
In structured Frame, retribution is certain. Tell your
writers that each document they turn in for
edit/review will first be subjected to the following
steps:

1. Open the writer's submission.

2. Open the applicable structured template.
 
3. Import formats from the template with
Format/Overrides turned on.

4. Import the element definitions from the template
with Format Rules Overrides turned on.

5. Validate the writer's submission to detect any
structure violations, including detection of failure
to enter values for required attributes.

To impress new writers with all the implications of
this process, have a sample demonstration document
with instances of each type of violation, and
demonstrate what happens when the above steps are
taken.
