Really awesome set of constructive comments. I just want to respond to
one, particularly relevant to my use case.

Because the expected domain for this spec is, at least in my strong
view, not limited to XML documents. For my use case (bibliographic

represent these sorts of data in RDF (including it's various
serialization formats), as well as JSON.
