One problem with this idea is that PIs often have multiple pseudo
parameters.  For example xml-stylesheet has the following pseudo attributes
defined:

href CDATA #REQUIRED
type CDATA #REQUIRED
title CDATA #IMPLIED
media CDATA #IMPLIED
charset CDATA #IMPLIED
alternate (yes|no) "no"

...but you would only want one role for each PI.
