There is a huge difference between headers (where having
a single encoding is very important, because the tagging
overhead is high, there are conversion problems,...) and
bodies. Parallels to XML work for other body formats, but
are really not adequate for headers.

Also, XML is already 5 years old. Something new should look
ahead, and not try to carry too much unnecessary old stuff.
