I believe so.  I find that XML's lack of exclusions is the biggest
hole in XML's content modeling capabilities compared to SGML.  I
don't have a good sense of how much complexity this adds to TREX,
so I'm not able to place it on either side of the 80/20 myself,
but from a user's point of view, exclusions are fairly nice to have.
