Because it's only humanly checkable? No, because verification would likely depend on things not defined in the specification or its normative references; say, a definition of the requirements for a data object to be considered "contact information" or processing the natural language of the element content to a data object that could be validated against the definition of "contact information". How would you "test" for example <address xml:lang='x-bjoernhoehrmannish'>##39(ö)64..werhq%__</address> whether it meets my hypothetical requirements?
