D'accord. Me too.  However, we need the ability to say whether the contents
of a resourceData should be interpreted as XML or as literal string values.
Otherwise an application has to try to guess.  This also comes up when you
want to include (escaped) HTML in resourceData (there are some reasonable
use cases for doing this, I think).  Is it text or excaped HTML?  That is
why I favor using a MIME tag - a facet, perhaps, for Murray.
