The trunk is our testbed.  We don't want to have an extended time window
with broken and unfixable code in it.  Let us delete them when the merge
is done, or at least when it is immediately imminent.

Otherwise, people won't be able to use any version of nxml-mode until
unicode-2 is merged.  In that case, we are better off removing nxml-mode
altogether for now in the trunk rather than keep a non-operative version
for an extended duration.  It can still be placed in unicode-2 now if it
is expected to work there.
