We went through this debate about whether PI's should be used for some of
the layout information put out by our report writer.

My conclusion was that it would be better to put in the effort to have
information encoded in XML in a form that made sense to a human reader, and
that people would be tempted to write themselves, so that composition and
editing with standard XML editors was possible.
