The latter solution doesn't demand PIs. It just prevents us from 
using the xml: prefix. If we wanted to be orthogonal to the W3C, then 
it's easy enough to define an xid:id prefix with xid mapped to 
http://xml.org/id/ or something like that. I think this has already 
been suggested as a way of adding multiple IDs to things. There's no 
need to get PIs involved.
