This particular thread was mainly aimed at those
interested in how the specification is to be interpreted, and
it was not an argument against anything or anyone.

I believe I understand the use-cases presented in the other thread,
and I agree 100% that they may useful in some situations.

That is not what this is about. The problem is that if the specification
is not explicit about how to process a XTM document then you can't
expect that XTM documents are interoperable even though some
of the simpler ones are.

in any way... This is the first post in this thread afterall. :)
