the fact that Docbook and TEI are themselves complex does not
demonstrate that the extensibiliy features were/are hard to add.

no, i dont have any other convincing examples. but if i asked you to
develop a DTD, and said I wanted some extensibility, you would say
"sure, no problem, lets see what you need", i bet.
