It should be a container with everything necessary to process a document 
instance -- without requiring net connections. ODF and OOXML-encoded docs are 
two use cases, but there are others.

RefleX / Active Tags seems to be a rich solution that can embed the required 
resources. It would be desirable to bookend XProc with digitally signing an 
XPackage and operating with it as a database plug-in.
