Reason #5...

5/ Adding extra tables is pretty trivial, and does not require coding
extra DTDs or schema.

Rules of  the Evil  Overlord #9. "I  will not include  a self-destruct
mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not
be a  large red  button labelled  "Danger: Do Not  Push". The  big red
button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on
anyone  stupid enough to  disregard it.  Similarly, the  ON/OFF switch
will not clearly be labelled as such." <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
