Clearly, this is all true. That's why in real world applications, people 
forsake XML, HTML, and the common SGML conventions, relying solely on 
out-of-line markup.

Seriously, out-of-line markup is useful, but is overkill for many 
applications. Ted seems to assume that only the requirements of his 
applications matter. Many people have different requirements than these.
