“Proxy documents” proposal

Hi All,

As announced last month and only slightly delayed, here’s a spelled-out 
proposal for what we discussed in London in June, proxy documents for 
non-XML documents:

https://gimsieke.github.io/3.0-specification/proxy-docs/head/xproc30/#proxy-documents

or, as a diff vs. the current draft:

https://github.com/xproc/3.0-specification/compare/master...gimsieke:proxy-docs

The current draft’s method for representing non-XML documents are empty 
document nodes whose properties can be queried with p:document-properties().

Looking forward to your comments, including suggestions for different 
approaches that can better reconcile the goals:

– interoperable
– XPath-friendly
– easily understandable
– uniform querying of properties
– avoid excessive verbosity
