The one problem with compact syntax is its representation of foreign markup.
We use foreign markup extensively in our schema to provide rich text
documentation, which is extracted by a separate process.  Trang does
not know when it can discard whitespace in this markup, and so converting
our schemas to RNC format produces a great big mess.
