This seems to be arbitrary and completely open to interpretation unless you can predict which child is going to result from a "previous life". e.g. if you see a birthmark, then you can just make up what injury could have "caused" it and go looking for a suitable previous life to link to and thus "explain" it.

Also, I don't believe there's been any incidents of xenoglossy that have withstood any detailed examination.
