Should we invent yet another way for the instance to tell us about
itself?  We already have the BOM, the XML declaration, the Document
Type declaration, and the XML-Stylesheet PI.  I guess it hasn't
been decided how an instance is associated with a W3C Schema.

Maybe we should investigate a more general way to specify all
this stuff externally. It seems to fit within the scope of
the problem Tim outlines in "Related-Resource Discovery for XML" [1].
Is there a W3C XML packaging activity?

Best,

Bill
