And presumably the <threadid>17</threadid> refers to some previously
emitted entity in the stream of TOOLSPECIFICs for this tool.

In an XWHAT, the <text> tag-pair is mandatory.  GUIs which don't want
to handle the extra fields can just ignore them and display the text
part.  In this way they have the option to present at least something
useful to the user even in the case where the extra fields can't be
handled, for whatever reason.

A corollary of this is that the degenerate extended case

   <xwhat> <text>T</text> </xwhat>

is exactly equivalent to

   <what>T</what>
