Well, I have to say, I hate this term "hint" which suggests that processors can
do what they like and users have no influence over the process. It seems to put
the control and decision-making in the wrong place. I agree it's a soft
distinction, but it does set expectations. Some products indeed appear to have
taken this to heart, and give users very little control over choice of a schema
for validation, which makes a nonsense of the whole idea of validation - what
use is validation if you can't control the choice of rules to be applied?
