I agree there are times for data to be filtered, which is why I mentioned the elements and attributes that would not be present. With CSS, I admit they would be there but a system that removed elements that had no style attributes added is more of what I'm thinking of. In the case given, you wouldn't know Joe was an employee or that he was active. All you would know is that his name is joe and his phone number. When sensitive data needs to be hidden I would send it out subsetted in the xml: <name>joe</name> <phone>555-12345</phone> His salary, review info, and other sensitive material would not be sent out at all.

I read that just fine. And as I said, you don't have any kind of entitlement or right to such information, so it's no use to base any arguments on such an entitlement. For example, there are risks to society in making it too easy for people to find out information about other folk. It makes it easy to perform identity theft, invade privacy, etc. The very example (a semantic web search) you used to motivate your desire for this representation came across to me as a powerful reason to avoid what you're arguing in favor of! > Looks to me like grasping at straws to justify FO model. ... or to attack it! In fact, I never mentioned FOs, the points I was making apply to _any_ element vocabulary used to deliver information. They will be used to filter out data, and hide it in less accessible forms, since organizations MUST do that. The more sensitive the data, the more work will be (or at least should be!) put into filtering it out or hiding it. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
