Because a !DATA will end the current FILE block if any. It could also be the first subfile in the mpd (unless we mandate it can't).

And this is another argument for !DATA being an MPD extension, because there needs to be at least one FILE block along side the !DATA one to have a meaningful model.
Although you could have a ldr with just the !DATA block and reference that from another ldr (just like an mpd with only one FILE block), but that seems a bit wasteful
