I don't know that it's essential to your point that the XML syntax was
designed first (for all we know, James was fiddling with some sort of
compact syntax before he ever issued TREX, never mind RELAX NG).
I agree that it's important to have an XML syntax as well as the
compact syntax, though I have always authored in the compact syntax
even before it was official.
