Let's be clear: the PSVI is not in the XQuery Data Model. Nobody wanted the 
PSVI in the data model, there's a lot of stuff in the PSVI that we don't 
need, and it's defined at the wrong level.

Named types are in the Data Model, which may represent merely well-formed 
XML documents, DTD-validated documents, or W3C XML Schema-validated 
documents. The Data Model may be constructed from a PSVI, an Infoset, or 
out of the blue.

The Data Model document is in Last Call, and can be found here:

         http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/

I think it's reasonably simple and well-designed. It's also a reasonably 
short document. It does not say that a Data Model Instance contains the 
PSVI. This document is also in Last Call, so it's a particularly strategic 
one to read and give feedback on.
