They both have advantages and disadvantages:
The advantage of 1 is to have things suited to the language need, 
everyone can make their own xml document that best serves their purposes.
2. has the advantage of having things central, and Mark IJbema is 
strongly for such an option. It doesn't really matter for me though.
