I asked about compound documents on xml-dev. The only real response
was a paper[1] put forward by Mark Baker which has been put forward
to W3C, suggesting a way of addressing each namespaced 'language'
within a document. It is with TAG[2], but seems to be getting very low
priority.

I don't think variant mime types will do anything to clarify the issue?
I'm -1 on different mime types to distinguish the XSLT language used
especially since Schematron isn't supposed to be 'xslt only'?
