That's right, PIs show up in legacy browsers.  Seems like a theoretically
sound reason to forbid them to me ;~)

There's been talk on this list of a "packaging" proposal ... is this more or
less the same idea?  Does it seem like a logical place to put a features
manifest?

Alternatively, Schemas can be construed as a "contract" between producers
and consumers as to what content is allowed/expected/etc.  Would that be a
logical place to put the XFM?  Is there any possibility of getting the
Schema WG to add such a thing to their already crushing list of
requirements?
