Yep, I tend to agree becoz one the advantages of <Head> is that
there's only 1 head across all the types, so that processing-
oriented (as opposed to type-oriented) computations can be
performed with a "well-known element".

Specific purpose-intended metadata could be sloted within the
<Head> itself, so we *could* have something like:

<Head>

<DocInfo>

<UBLVersion>...</UBLVersion>

<DocType>...</DocType>

<DocID>...</DocID>

<CreationSoftware>...</CreationSoftware>

<CreationDateTime>...</CreationDateTime>

...

</DocInfo>

<...

</Head>

(Ok, please don't scream, this is just an example!)
