I'm really glad I'm not alone here. I was just going to extend the 
current one, but MinML is badly in need of helpful commentary.

I believe it will be as fast for handling classic ASCII based tags and 
attributes. The upper ranges of the unicode spec are only touched when 
the tags fall into it, or the document is badly-formed in a way that's 
not often seen.

It's not DTD validating, however I could add such support in about 2 
days flat. I am going to put <[CDATA[ ... ]]> in however, because it 
means you could have blocks of classic JavaScript.

It will be fast, or you will never see it. Except maybe for handling 
prefixed namespaces, which will add a milli-second here and there 
because the bitchy Namespace spec lets a prefix be redefined in a child 
element.
