I agree. I noticed this addition during review, but it did not set off
an alarm as it had Justin. However, I think it should be worded such
that *if* a containing document has separate head and body sections,
then suggest model belongs in head. However, I do not even think there
should be a requirement to do so, given a head section. After all, we
have namespaces.

Actually, one of the next steps in my implementation is to allow the
mixing of XSL and XForms in a single document.
