Hmm...  it doesn't bother you that somebody might already
be using <?access-control ... ?> for some other purpose?

I think of PIs as kinda like comments... they belong
to authors (or perhaps local communities), not to W3C.

How should consumers figure out what specification applies
to pi <?foo ?>?
Should W3C start a registry of PI names? (heaven forbid!)

Norm, didn't we establish a good practice in webarch that
new markup should be namespace-qualified? Ah... I see
we were more conservative...

"A specification that establishes an XML vocabulary SHOULD place all
element names and global attribute names in a namespace."
