Let's grant this. It still seems to make sense to make the common  
cases and the vast majority straightforward and roundtrippable. I  
take the right conclusion to draw is not to get wildly hung up in the  
corner cases and that the trade off between roundtripping and  
avoiding vocabulary bloat weighs a bit more toward avoiding that one  
might have a priori thought (not that it was insignificant before, by  
anymeans)
