The trouble with that idea is that in XML generally we don't know
what is a block-level element: elements are just elements, and it's
up to rendering routines whether they appear as block, inline, or
not at all.

Promises become binding when there is a meeting of the minds and consideration
is exchanged. So it was at King's Bench in common law England; so it was
under the common law in the American colonies; so it was through more than
two centuries of jurisprudence in this country; and so it is today.
