My problem is that putting text in the format spec saying "Nobody but

It will happen and we won't be able to stop it.

I have a question - what's the problem?

I can think of a couple things. One would be collisions (which Sam mentioned). Another would be that validators couldn't catch typos.

<entry>...
  <summary>My trip...</summary>
  <conten>My trip to the beach</conten>
  <links href="http://example.org";>
</entry>

Does the same principle apply to attributes?

If a validator can't catch typos, what's left?
