It's possible, in which case the next question whether we (W3C) could
(or should) develop a framework and/or best practices guide. A framework
might end up being ways to use HTTP content negotiation, and ways to
parse XML from an HTTP session saved as a local file, to give a wild
example, with the goal that even if a processor couldn't handle a
particular document, at least it'd know why, and maybe could
delegate conversion in a predictable way.

That sort of decision is beyond the mandate of the current
Working Group, but (as Rich pointed out) they are providing
the necessary background information.
