The problem may be the editor :) Most people seem to disagree with me.
Fwiw, damaging data like this is bad form and standardizing it is unlikely to get my consensus - I don't much care if it's legacy or de facto in current formats (as Martin has pointed out). Even if it's not harmful, there's absolutely a need to firm up the text.
If we go with this, I want to get rid of the "applies to" language. We should make it as clear as possible that the elements have been elided, and we're just talking about document structure.
