I'm disagree with that. How can "ConciseXML" be a subset of XML 1.0? If
it's a subset, then any "document" written in "ConciseXML" would be XML 1.0
complaint and like Simon St.Laurent wrote:

XML 1.0 parser without a fatal error".
Besides, the "immprovements" of "ConciseXML" implies some structure that by
definition aren't part of any well-formed XML document. Examples:
1. The abbreviation of the end tag of any element with content.
2. The possible absence of the attribute names (I wonder where that idea
come from?).

How can this be? Any examples of how "ConciseXML" resolves the semantic
ambiguity problem of the abstraction of any entity?
