I've had to deal with "element only" xml and it's not that pleasant...
instead of the usual:
<item type="foo">value<item>
you have the verbose:
<item>
<type>foo</type>
<value>value</value>
</item>
and your xpaths go from:
item[@type = 'foo']
to
item[type = 'foo']/value
...so not great.
I agree with no DTDs, no namespaces, UTF-8 only etc... mixed content
has to stay otherwise you may as well not call it xml.
