I am totally against weakening I18N of XML 1.0. Even 1% trim down is absolutely completely unacceptable to me. Legacy encodings, natural language markup, the xml:lang attribute, encoding declarations, the charset parameter, and numeric character references must be preserved. If SML omits any of them, SML is not for the World Wide Web.
