Can you define "core XML"?

My guess is that this is one of those "I know it when I see it" things.  You 
don't use RDF, so it's probably harder for you to see it as core XML.  For me, 
it's hard to see RDF as anything but core XML.

I also think that your stated standard would tend to exclude large parts of 
the current contents of PyXML.

I might be persuaded of your viewpoint, but I'd need to see an argument for 
your viewpoint.
