Assuming that you don't accept a grove plan over the existing SGML property set as the XML property set... Alex Milowski was supposed to be working on it, but never published it (I suspect his job duties overwhelmed him). As XML documents are SGML documents, they can, of course, be represented using the existing SGML property set. However, it is probably of significant value to produce a new property set that leaves out all the stuff XML doesn't need and adds additional properties that reflect XML-specific semantics, such as name space mappings, PI targets, and the like. This will make the property set much easier for the XMl audience to understand. But the result should be consistent with the SGML property set. In particular, life will be much easier for everyone if a location address applied to an XML document grove or an SGML document grove will return the same result for the same input data. I have no reason to think that this won't be the case, but it's not guaranteed. Cheers, E. -- <Address HyTime=bibloc> W.
