Simon, you can't have it both ways. Either the Infoset is a subset of the full information available in the text of an XML document, or it isn't. If it is a subset, then someone has to choose the subset. If it isn't, then it has to provide the full information for reconstruction, including the 74 different whitespace properties. Which you say you don't care about (and rightly so IMHO). One sticking point seems to be DTDs. If we did DTDs, we'd have to do Schemas too, and that seemed like too big a job (plus the Schema WG is changing things all the time as well). So we arbitrarily ruled metainformation (except for base URIs) out of scope. > Is the Infoset about XML 1.0+Namespaces, or is it about something else? It's about what's meaningful in XML 1.0+Namespaces, as best we can figure it. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@r...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
