Wonderful, now parsers will not be confused, only people.

I have never fought too hard against the "explicit-name for
explicit-model" restriction, because I have watched too many
newbies (technical newbies, they knew their content) finally
realize, because of an XML restriction, that they had, sometimes
for years, conflated several different nouns/meanings and caused
themselves confusion.

And the harm in requiring more precision in an XML document than
I need in casual conversation is what exactly?
