Some unexpected issues are not solved for past 20 years.

I do not attack annotations or XML per se. The general approach "neither thing is precisely OK, so let's use both" seems questionable to me. I believe, XML is complex enough, so why do we need XXML? Finally, by using annotations they recognize that XML nesting is a pain in the ass, but they did not solve the problem, just sort of relieved it.

Actually, I doubt a lot, whether XML is actually carrying some useful load in the Wave. But the last one is just a feeling.




Have you taken a look at admissibility-based transformations (ABT) [1]?

It seems to solve the issues that concern you (validating the correctness of OT).
