If this was the case, we could remove 'inline' even today from this
choice.  But we can't do that unless we don't use an extension also
for "use-schema", which I know you want to get rid of, but the WG
wants to keep.

Correct.  OTOH with two documents you probably need additional text to
explain the relationship between them.

"inline" doesn't imply instance data mounting.  Our implementation
uses "inline" w/o instance data mounting.
