Other than nested comments, I can't see any rationale in
disallowing it?
It would be a source of incompatibility between stylesheets
as it would
expose the XML linearisation to the XSL stylesheet, something not
currently possible.
The Yorkshire response is so what ;-)
In terms of processing (as todays mail shows)
they are all identical post parse?
How does such an exposure cause a problem I suppose is the next question?
I can't see how this is a source of incompatibility David?
Oops. Is it the white space node issue Mike Kay mentioned a few days ago?
Some have some haven't?

If it would be allowed, then string value of $x would be
something like
<meta a="2"/>
or
<meta a="2"></meta>
or
<meta
a = '2' ></meta>
depending on how the system linearises XML.
