I've been thinking about a catalog-based approach, and I think that would
be
more powerful than a PI although significantly more complicated. The
catalog could contain rules like:

Hmmm. But this is really just a bolt-on in front of the parser.
We're (XMLG) doing this in a bigger sense with our Transform technology.
It has a module that examines the datastream before it hits the
mapper - and then invokes the right template depending on
source and content.
So we could combine this idea with the PI - and the RELAX parser
then has a first step which is "content alignment" - as part of the
spec's - where it decides how to go. The PI could easily
pass a parameter to enable this: type="DTD" type="RELAX", etc.
