Not at all James - I just think that different things become issues at
different levels. I believe that everything we need to get (logical)
documents out of a database, or from a file, to a parser, where - as you
rightly corrected my previous post - that document becomes a 'physical'
document, is already in XML 1.0.

i.e., file -> parser, or database -> stream -> parser, or whatever other
things people come up with.

BUT, once you're 'inside' the parser, other issues arise - linking,
filtering, fragments, etc. I think it's important to keep the layers
separate to ensure the purity of XML as effectively an 'interface'.
