In fact the entire "What's the Problem" section seems innappropriate when taken within the context of the entire XML family of technologies instead of just the XML 1.0 recommendation. For example the statement below is false when it comes to W3C XML Schema 
 
"Validation and typing are separable but often conflated concepts. IDness is a consequence of parsing a DTD, not of validation."
