      We can remove line 1555, but this would also require resubmitting the registration to IANA. Since it's not a backward compatible change, IANA would have to require that we change the MIME type (or ignore their own policies).

      Instead suggest we close without action and leave it to specific publishing protocols to note the allowed root elements.

      The metadata specification includes a MIME type registration that allows for <md:AffiliationDescriptor> as the root element of an XML instance, which was not meant to be permitted. Affiliations are a role, and don't carry their own entityID, for example.
