I think, from reading these various threads over the last few days is what I would like to see is, for every functionality added, prune something. Why, well mainly because it seems this would signify a commitment on the part of the W3C to not make XML too complex (ok it was sort of hard to write that with a straight face but you know what I mean...) So for adding in present day unicode etc. support, remove DTDs for validation (I still like the idea of subsetting DTD for just Entity declarations) Basically I would like to see a process that kept feature adding as difficult as possible.
