I like the direction of this proposal. In the spirit of a friendly 
amendment I would remove the 'element' from the first paragraph above 
such that it reads:

   Zero or more information items in its
   [children] property. Such child element
   information items MAY be namespace
   qualified.

This generalizes the description of the Body EII to explicitly allow 
other types of EII.
