For what it's worth, in our AssocSS draft, we say:

 Documents must not specify other pseudo-attributes on xml-stylesheet
 processing instructions.

That is, we decided against allowing "extension" pseudo-attributes 
in the xml-stylesheet case.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I know we had a discussion about it,
so I'm wondering why we would think allowing "extension"
pseudo-attributes
is bad in the case of xml-stylesheet and good in the case of xml-model.
