one nice thing about this solution is that it *requires no standard action*.
Anyone can implement this any time they want to, or not, as they choose.
If they don't do it, they are no worse off than before; if they do it, it's 
their headache.

(btw, the failure mode most likely is a document that says

<XML i-am-a-document-metadata-dtd>
lots of gory header-like stuff
</XML>
real content goes here)
