I guess the question I'm asking is that if the document looks like XML (has
XML syntax and is well-formed) but the data model is specified in such a way
that no off-the-shelf tools can with certainty handle it (along the lines
of, say, the spec declaring attribute order to be significant, or elements
{X,Y,Z} being allowed to appear anywhere, any number of times, in any order,
including within other ordered element content models, or namespaces not
being used merely to disambiguate, but as a mechanism to insert private
elements and attributes anywhere within a document, etc.), then is it really
any more useful than any other arbitrary document syntax? Why even use XML?
Oh, I know-- marketing. Duh.
