Quite!
If the problem is to extract from XML then there is no problem because
wrapping is not needed in the XML (unless manual wrapping has been done).
The problem to be addressed when Qin and I started this work was that
human-readable copies needed to include some form of wrapping, and we wanted
a format that made it abundantly clear that the wrapped version was not
normative, and told the reader how to unwrap in order to make valid
examples.

I fear we are losing touch with the problem statement.
