They're just ideas.
You don't have to
like them.
This paper is a thuoght experiment; there's no real specification here, and I don't want there to be one. It's not clear to me that there should be an XML 2.0, or if there is, who should do it. It is clear that if there is a 2.0, it'll be at least a five year process.
This paper is to say, let's look at some assumptions that were made, and see what happens if we change them. Let's look at how XML might be different if we started from where we are not. Let's think outside the box.
