You can also point a paper at a @layers.pub dataset it introduces or uses. A dataset is named by at-uri rather than by a URL at some host, so the reference is to the record and doesn't depend on a particular page staying up.

You could certainly define similar schemas for XML or use vanilla JSON schemas or whatever. From my perspective, one point in favor of ATProto is about the infrastructure it provides for discovery + sharing: defining lexicons (rather than another schema) supports hooking into that infrastructure.
