Is there either a sweet spot for the size of MinML files or a practical
upper limit where you'd be better off having end-tags?

You use it for blog posts, but would you use it for, say, the 1.6 MB of
the TEI XML of 'Moby Dick'? [1]

Your blog post doesn't mention namespaces?  How would you write, for
example, an XSLT stylesheet to generate XSL-FO?
