I agree.

Actually, I think it may be perfectly okay to use W3C
XML Schema's xsi:type attribute and to have a
RDDL-(like) document at the named URI.
Right now, the thing at "http://www.rddl.org" starts like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//XML-DEV//DTD XHTML RDDL 1.0//EN"
"http://www.rddl.org/rddl-xhtml.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:rddl="http://www.rddl.org/"
xml:lang="en"
xml:base="http://www.rddl.org/">
One could make a version that looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//XML-DEV//DTD XHTML RDDL 1.0//EN"
"http://www.rddl.org/rddl-xhtml.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:rddl="http://www.rddl.org/"
xml:lang="en"
xml:base="http://www.rddl.org/"
xmlns:rxh="http://www.rddl.org/rddl-xhtml"
xsi:type="rxh:html"

I'm not an expert on W3C schemas, by a long shot, but
it doesn't seem to preclude your putting whatever
you want at "http://www.rddl.org/rddl-xhtml"
Best,
