No, I did not know about that draft.  Thanks for pointing it out.

As it happens, it embodies a quite different approach to identifying header 
fields:  the approach in draft-klyne-message-xml aims to embody the header 
field names as XML element names, namespace-qualified.  The other draft 
uses a fixed set of element names and includes header field names as 
attribute values.

I won't claim that one approach is fundamentally better than the other:  I 
can see advantages in each.  I prefer the approach I've suggested because 
it maps more closely to what people might expect  message data in XML to 
look like, and I think is generally more compact by avoiding an un-needed 
lavel of indirection.
