It sounds like this is in danger of getting more complex over time, in
which case I'd consider using XSLT, perhaps with XProc - e.g. adding
attributes with error="coordinate 1 is not a prime number" or whatever.

If you want to get really high-falutin' you could consider writing the
constraints in a simple XML vocabulary and translating that into XSLT or
XQuery (or even into XSD 1.1 but then you don't get the custom
messages).
