If I'm not mistaken, it was so that every valid XML document
would also be a valid SGML document (given a suitable SGML
declaration, that is).

Since XML doesn't have start-tag omission, deterministic
content models aren't _strictly_ necessary.  (Actually,
they're not strictly necessary for SGML either, you'd just
need to rephrase the way start-tag inference is specified
in the Standard.)


(P.S. *Many* thanks for starting an actual XML-related thread!)
