Why is this such a big deal? Surely it can't be that difficult to convert
any SGML/XML document from one vocabulary to another using XSLT or a Perl
script. We often use long_descriptive_function_names in Javascript during
development and then optimize them later for delivery. Why not do the same
with XML documents?
