Because you will need a name to name the name
you name it. Gets complex fast. Standards
work like that. Profiles too. Putting the cat
in the bag was hard enough. Want to face a mad
cat? Take him out again.
The contract you need in this case is not an
XML variant. You need a conformance spec for
a system design that limits the feature set. That way,
you get what you contract for and the market does
not get confused.
