The next draft will have a much more layered 'look-and-feel', I
promise.
Feature bloat is always a temptation to be guarded against: but
remember Occam: "Do not multiply entities _beyond necessity_". Each
of the things you identify in your list of 'not needed' is on someone
else's 'must have' list. The WG has done its best to balance a wide
range of requirements and use cases against complexity, scale and
implementability.
