For 1, this proposal seems to create an alternative to XML Schema
instance mechanisms [1]
Just, FTR, both of these are getting real world, adhoc
implementations. At O'Reilly, an AtomPub server validates all of the
collections that <accept>application/docbook+xml</accept> against
the DocBook 4.4 DTD (our fave) (so XSI isn't useful). Additionally,
we're talking about (so XSI isn't useful) Schematron validation to
ensure that all entries in a Collection have embedded RDF needed to
identify them.
I don't find xsi very useful either, especially if the schema is
defined in a MIME-type. In the absence of a dedicated MIME-type for
the contents of the atom:content element with @type="application/xml",
though, we need something in the app:accept block.
