What's the current behaviour? Association based on file name
extension? Association based on top element name? Association based
on top element name, plus namespace? No association, except for
what's done manually by the user at runtime?

If we're talking of state stored in buffer local lisp variables, one
possibility would be to store the lisp variable in a local variables
list, in a comment at the end of the file.
Is there no standard way of doing the association? Ie. no schema
equivalent of DOCTYPE?

I think a PI in the document is what I would expect. The PI should
allow XML files to start other places than the top, to allow for
composite documents.
