So what happens if you need processing instructions for your metadata --
nested PIs? How do you validate your DC PIs against a schema? What if
you want to indicate the author of the DC annotations?
I'm starting to think that Ted Nelson was onto something when he suggested
that all markup should be out-of-band. Then overlaying the document's
"native" markup with processing instructions, metadata, etc. would be
trivial -- just multiple markup overlays. And each one could be validated
individually.
