Yes.  They become owners of proprietary solutions 
just as XML code owners have proprietary solutions 
and are not second class citizens.

They still have a single target.  So do others. 
It isn't the same proprietary product.

The W3C isn't the single arbiter of all things markup. 
Just all things XML.

The existing code will *not* keep working with the
privately extended documents, so the people who need
these private extensions will be second-class citizens.

The same as the downside of any other proprietary document
format.  But you knew that.
