not in XPath but:

<xsl:variable name="authors" select="/book/author"
as="schema-element(author)+"/>

ensures one or more valid author elements are selected

<xsl:variable name="authors" select="/book/author" as="element(author)+"/>

ensures one or more elements named "author" are selected

IDEs like oXygen provide intellisense based on the associated XML in
the scenario, but I don't know of any one which will highlight
impossible XPaths given a schema.
