I think you have the beginnings of a good plan. I don't know RDF well enough to determine its applicability here. I am curious to know, in brief, if the others in this CC list consider this the right way to go about meeting their requirements. I agree with Tim that XML 1.0 is a syntax. But the DTD stuff is in there too. I don't have a problem with the current InfoSet but I also don't see how DTDs can "go away" when so much of the current specifications depends on them definitively. It seems to me that the plan you present is a shorter path than rebuilding all of these to eliminate DTDs. Am I missing something here? My point has been literally, until something really breaks, don't fix it. We have a delicate ecology of specs that won't bear heavy feet well. If this plan make them more robust for some subset of this user community of designers, then do this; otherwise, a lot more versions of the applications that make us have to keep rewriting fielded code for no profit just to keep in sync will make the business types mad as hell. That gaping hole in the schedule thing. At some point, the implementations DO have an influence on the specification.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Borden [mailto:jborden@m...] I agree. To make my point, I am willing to put my money where my mouth is and define an XML property set. I believe the XML 1.0 productions (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml) serve as a proper foundation to describe the XML syntax. That's what this property set defines: syntax.
