My concern exactly but more.  If were not careful an XML-ER parser will have to be the mother-of-all-parsers and the spec will have to   be a superset of the XML, HTML, HTML5, XHTML etc etc etc ...  We'll end up with a book that takes a forklift to open.
That is about 2599AD when the specs are done.   And another 1000 years before anyone writes the first impl.
