I'd say its an issue to do with pragmatism. Folk look at the
internal subset issues weight up the cost/benefit and say
"nah".

I don't blame them. Getting interoperable XML with even
the gang of four  concepts of start-tag, end-tag, attributes
and character data is hard enough.

Round-tripping internal subsets just isn't done
in the real world unless I am currently not in
it (a possibility I admit.)
