The vocabulary of the didactic document type is, well, didactic though
like LaTeX in many ways.  But I would be inclined to see its
vocabulary as a prototype for a standardized LaTeX3 input syntax --
a base from which to build.  More of the regular LaTeX2E vocabulary
should be adapted.

Separate from that I do see it as important for the LaTeX Project to
provide support for legacy documents and to maintain, within
reasonable bounds of sanity, the LaTeX2E typesetting language.  (For
one thing gellmu's didatic production system relies on the typesetting
language.)
