Packaging into xtmdoc is wicked simple, because it could be done with
an XML editor, or even a text editor. One could, of course, use the
usual entity mechanisms. 

Contrariwise, packaging TM with a scoping and merging mechanism is not
wicked simple, because it cannot be done with an XML editor or text
editor.

Alternatively, I'm missing some subtle point obvious to all but me.
