Nice idea... I'd like to add lack of full XML and namespace

but processing instructions could have been handy)... But moving

especially true namespacing in Data Forms... (and perhaps
requiring acceptance of <s:stream xmlns:s='...'/>, etc., while
we're at it).
surely that's an implementation issue?
Well, yes, but there are issues such as these in the specs:
1) RFC3920bis-09: "for historical reasons MAY accept only the 'stream:'
prefix"
2) RFC3921bis-08: "The <show/> element MUST NOT possess any attributes."
(also with <status/>, <priority/>, <body/>, <subject/>)
The latter could be made to state "MUST NOT possess any non-namespaced
attributes".
In theory xml:lang SHOULD be supported, so it's not really a question.
xml:lang can be supported without namespace awareness--the original XML
spec (before XML Namespaces) allows, without reservation, the colon in
an XML Name (as in an attribute), but according to the above issues, an
implementation could theoretically (if not actually) use a parser which
rejects any attributes on such elements.
