This is running now, you can see an example at:

https://github.com/boostorg/functional/blob/develop/meta/explicit-failures-markup.xml

That file doesn't validate using the existing schema as it doesn't
have any 'mark-toolset' or 'note' elements, I think it should be
pretty trivial to make them optional, so I'll try to do that soon, or
maybe there should be a separate schema for modules?
