The question,
which I think is important, is how to safely use a small, fast MicroXML

I don't see faster parsing in contexts where arbitrary XML is expected as being part of the value proposition of MicroXML. 

Ah, well.  It appears that this proposal is targeted
primarily-nearly-exclusively toward bridging XML with HTML5?

That's only part of it.  But I also think there's significant value to having a subset of XML that provides most of the utility of XML but is much easier to understand.
