Almost exactly what I was thinking.  My strawman media type was

None of the arguments I've read here lead me to see this as
a value-add over application/xml.  It seems we think that
applications should when processing XML resources dispatch
based on namespaces... except when they can't, which I guess
is the point of the worry about XSLT.

Before launching the quest for a new media type, I think
we need a clearer explanation of the use case where this
is used and application/xml or anything/anything+xml isn't
appropriate, and why. -Tim
