I think that in the absence of the feature you describe below, a PI is 
the better way to go. But I'd be grateful if we could avoid the debate

A long, long time ago, there was talk of having headers be a standard 
part of XML document, through some form of xml:head element. It would

took the idea and ran with it, but unfortunately they made it for Web
