I'm concerned that a requirement to rewrite the parser first will significantly
impede the release of 2.1.0.  Obviously, applications like metacat can't reject
all the 2.0.x documents, and so the solution will be complicated. 

Is it reasonable to split the parser from EML? or to consider it only an
instance-parser in 2.1 (since it does this adequately), and put the new parser
in a future release? During schema editing, a parser included with EML would be
useful to someone who did not have access to another one. But given that free
schema editors are now quite good at that (albeit not perfect), it may not be
absolutely necessary to include it.
