Looks good :-)
One interesting point would be to check name, version and releases
based on regexp, see the "pattern" constraining facet of XML Schemas
Datatypes. There is 2 difficulties theres:
- one very hard: try to come up with working regexps for packages
which will still drop out RPM naming abuses [1]
- one easy: implement it in the schemas
Getting there could actually be fruitful, allowing to drop garbage
or find as early as possible package naming problems.

[1] rpm2html had some checking and I think it drops hundreds of packages
from the rpmfind repositories because the NVR are just "broken"
