I have been thinking about killer apps for out of band signalling to try to answer to this question and, here are some proposals: - Addition of PSVI information embedded in the instance documents [1]. - Meta data. A Dublin Core variant expressed as PIs would be immediatly usable everywhere (even in vocabularies having made no provision for any type of meta data). - And even a variant of RDDL using PIs instead of XLink would have been cool and less verbose (RDLL elements are truly "Processing Instructions"). I am begining to wonder if out band signalling -using PIs or not- hasn't a big role to play for the Semantic Web :) !
