Why MicroXML ?

I suggest that even before debating the What Is ... we should discuss and refine the Why .
IMHO, the Why is the foundation for deciding what to include or exclude in the What Is.

Why MicroXML ?
What is the purpose of designing this spec?
What are the intended use cases?
What is the intended audience?
What is the value expected to be added to the world?

I think we all (having joined the WG) have a concept of this but I clear and concise statement would be very valuable as a foundation  for deciding the What's ...   The discussion is already fragmenting on the What based on what appears to me to be different assumptions of Why.
