Why? Until you want your PR to rubber-stamp your product as being
"compliant with all the features of the spec", who's here to tell you
what to put in your own code? You can implement the old-style syntax

XML part to decide whether or not it's worth the effort coding it.

It's not much of s schism as of today. Where's the alternate mailing
list? Where's the alternate standard? Who's on board the schism?
I haven't agreed to any merger of anything with anybody.
This is not your call to make, it's Meng's.
