Sure, a data model is fine, and gives a basis for formalism.... I argued for 
that in the DOM WG until I was blue in the face. 

That said, few application deal with that model directly, and there are a 
number of slants one can take. Editing applications, for example, really do 
need to know about whitespace, attribute ordering, etc. etc. etc. where most 
data processing applications don't.
