In the light of recent debate about the intertwingling of XML specs and the PSVI and Henry Thomsons excellent keynote at XML Devcon (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/02/21/xmldevcon1.html). isn't it time to accept that not specifying formal post-parse data model(s) for XML 1.0 was a big mistake? Furthermore, would the members of the list concur that there is an enormous difference between the data model needed for read only apps and the data model need for read/write apps. Would the list accept that the read/write nature of the DOM makes life overly hard for developers of read only (and in particular persistent) DOM implementations? Finally, would the members of the list agree that the read/write nature of XSLT is at the heart of the difficulties in scaling its query capabilities to the degree needed for purely read only use such as is required by XML Query?
