One thing I noticed in your keynote Wednesday was that the expanded XML 
uses elements like

<quote depth="1">

I may not remember the syntax exactly, but I assume this is just 
indicating quotes of quotes and so forth. Why use the depth attribute 
here instead of just having multiple nested quote elements?

Just guessing, but perhaps this is an area where overlap raises its head 
since e-mail messages aren't really XML?
