That looks to me like a big step backwards… or rather, a refusal to step 
forward.

My biggest hope for MNX is that it move beyond the limitations of 
MusicXML and its compatibility requirements, to be a much better vehicle 
for representing digital scores. Turning MNX-Common into merely a 
wrapper which preserves the shortcomings of MusicXML seems to me is 
negation of this hope.
