Can you suggest another design goal to add to

  http://www.w3.org/community/microxml/wiki/Design_Goals

?

At the moment, we have

1. The syntax of MicroXML shall be a subset of XML 1.0
2. MicroXML shall define a data model as well as a syntax

The best I can think of at the moment is to change 2 to:

2. MicroXML shall specify a data model and a mapping from the syntax to the
data model, which shall be substantially consistent with XML 1.0

This is purposefully a bit vague, but at least recognizes the issue of
compatibility at the data model level.
