Admit, is it? Nay, sir, I proclaim it!
An effort was underway at one time to define a truly complete abstraction,
with one ADT for each of the 84 syntactic rules in the XML 1.0 Recommendation.
While I was not opposed to this, my feeling was and remains that this
would be an abstraction that didn't really abstract anything.
