So I guess you 'vote' for the type attribute when more than one
stylesheets are present?

Does this means that the author will be responsible on putting his
preferred stylesheet (language) before others?
Wouldn't it be better to give priority to a transformation language when
having to do with XML?

Again this moves all responsibility to the author and the order he
writes his PIs.

Can you please give an example on this one? Sorry, I don't really get
