XFM looks to me like a kind of SGML Declaration, in that it says which features are needed to process a document. Similarly there is a well-known need in XML to allow non-standard characters/glyphs (for mathematics, advertising and Chinese especially) so it is not impossible that there may be increased development (whether looking like entities or numeric character references) towards better character entities too. That only leaves minimization. That is perhaps the nicest thing in HTML, and perhaps will be the only SGML thing that won't be reintroduced in the fullness of time.
