It's possible, in which case the next question whether we (W3C) could (or should) develop a framework and/or best practices guide. A framework might end up being ways to use HTTP content negotiation, and ways to parse XML from an HTTP session saved as a local file, to give a wild example, with the goal that even if a processor couldn't handle a particular document, at least it'd know why, and maybe could delegate conversion in a predictable way. That sort of decision is beyond the mandate of the current Working Group, but (as Rich pointed out) they are providing the necessary background information.
