I feel like the (US) Federal Government must have felt when they tried
to reform voter registration laws in the southern states a few years
back. There is a fundamental question buried within your request:
who are the users whose voices matter, and how do we identify them?
Remember Lot pleading for Sodom and Gomorrah? How many people really
using feature F of XML 1.0 + Namespaces + ... does it take in order to
render it safe from pruning?
As I have said more than once before: "One person's 20 is another
person's 80, and they're both [using XML]".
