Lots of tricks actually:-)

But it's pointless arguing the point with me:
you need to argue it on xml-er list.

The fact that html has gone from being defined (at least in principle)
via a schema applied to a generic language framework to a custom parser
described in prose is not entirely without cost. However it's pretty
much a central tenet of the design of html(5) that this is necessary
that arguing otherwise is not clearly a productive way forward....
