Does it?
Yes, one file can contain only one set of rules, but you can split up the file 
and load the rules separately for a set of files.
See PMInsertRuleSystem::loadRules( const QString& fileName )

I think the rules belong to the objects, not the renderers and that's what the 
insert rules system was designed for. Each plugin that adds new objects adds 
the insert rules for these objects.
I don't want the scene to become invalid if you change the renderer.

The scene validation should be done at export time with messages like:
The object "blablub" is not supported by the renderer "schlagmichblau"

I know that, but no details.
Do you have a link or some more information?
