It seems to me that the SGML compatibility requirement killed simplicity. 
(And gave a very confusing and hard-to-learn vocabulary)

I'm hoping that ideas like the Layered Model for XML (by Simon St.Laurent) 
will be able to influence XML in a positive direction, making it simpler to 
understand, use and implement. Today it's way too hard to "fully" 
understand XML.

Cheers,
