That's good to hear, and it sounds like the working group thought that one
through, but that's only the most obvious of many possible subsets...  

Curt Arnold's suggestion of a validation subset
(http://www.egroups.com/group/xml-dev/18040.html?) is another intriguing
possibility, and I doubt that's the last one out there.

Curt also suggested in his post that the next draft might take a more
layered approach - that would would help with these kinds of projects.  I
think there may be as many subsets out there as there are definitions of
'easier'.
