It's a cultural thing Len. Even though technically you could produce a spec
that just used XML 1.0 and nothing more, as soon as you do the hoards of
nattering spec-wonks descend like a plague asking where's your RDF, where's
your namespaces, let's add schema, etc. I attribute this to the fact that
the people with the most time to spend on the mail lists are not engineers
or writers but some other breed that thrives off making things
incomprehensible.
