I highly doubt that. Non-tech standard imposers will say "use XML" or 
"use Web Services", but I very strongly doubt any will ever say "use the 
schema processing instruction, or else...". If you know it exists, 
you're technical.

I think you're exaggerating. I'm not at all a big fan of associating a 
schema with an instance, even if just as a hint, but a) it's sometimes 
useful and b) people want to do it so you won't stop them. All we can do 
is help make whatever standard may emerge here as harmless as possible.
