Schematron supports at least some calculations, but probably not elaborate ones. I'm not sure what is needed here. The sume of the score of 10 values is something that it can do: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/SchematronTutorial/Examples/Example13/example.html although I'm not sure about floating point (which is added in XSL 2.0, I believe)
