I agree with Ron wholeheartedly and I just want to add one more reason to
his last point.

Both comprehensibility and *clairity* of writting are critical because (in
addition to Ron's reasons) clear and concise spec minimizes room for
individual intepretation by implementers of all kinds.  And that, I believe,
is one of the fundamental philosophy of XML.
