I am not talking about the burden of updating tests - you got me wrong. 
I am talking about implementer burden, and Jirka described the burden. 
The test update is just one part of this. The main part is "burden on 
HTML editor" vs. "burden on XML tool chain".

So please answer my question on a technical level, not in terms of the 
standardization process.
