Its format is determined by the code, not by a DTD. And that format
is specific to Enriched mode alone, it's its private format that is
not shared with any other application.

How is this relevant to the issue we are discussing?

It is exactly the major point. If you want to create a new schema,
you can.

different purposes. It's a completely different use case.
