'might contain' and 'might have' will avoid the possible confusion with RFC 2119 use of 'MAY'. An XML document labelled as text/xml or application/xml might contain namespace declarations, stylesheet-linking PIs, schema information, or other declarations that might be used to suggest how the document is to be processed. For example, a document might have the XHTML namespace and a reference to a CSS stylesheet. Such document might be handled by applications that would use this information to dispatch to the appropriate processing. > I want to drive home the point with authors that one can't assume user > agents will obey these mechanisms.
