Remember that I'm only talking about a clean subsetting.  And, to be 
honest, I suspect 90% or more of users wouldn't notice even if their XML 
parser was mysteriously replaced with a parser that only took the subset.

Sure, it's difficult, though.

It's the only place where I see XML as having a significant advantage 
over JSON or YAML, so yes, I suppose that constitutes a defense.

And heck, 97% of my work involves mixed content of some sort or another.
