xml-model is one character shorter so in sum it will save a lot of space
and processing power. So it is perfectly aligned with the current "green
computing" trend ;-)

There were several proposals on the table including xml-schema, but if
my recollection is right, counter argument against xml-schema was that
it can lead to false conclusion that this PI is suitable only for use
with W3C XML Schema and not with other schema languages like Schematron
and RELAX NG.
