why this? With it it means that the resulting files are not XML, so the
new format couldn't use the various xml processing tools unles sthey
allow a custom parser to be provided, in which case you don't need a new
format, you could presumably hook up a json 9or html5) parser that
reported xml sax events.
Without it, it's a variant in the usual simplifications going back to
sml (if not before) the usual reason that nothing actually happens is
that while it's easy to agree that a simplification would be good, it's
a lot harder to agree on the details 9as this message shows:-)
