Document-centric XML:
	XML in which corpora conforming to schema X, exhibit power law 
distributions of the element types in X.

Data-centric XML:
	XML in which corpora conforming to schema X, exhibit uniform distributions 
of the element types in X.

Not perfect but useful nonetheless I think. Mixed content is missing for a 
start.

Anyway, please take a look at the graphs at:

I'd be very interested in seeing other peoples graphs of the tag-share of 
their XML corpora.

regards,
Sean
