>[Henry Thomson] >So I think I know where this is going, but just to be sure -- why >_isn't_ the Infoset that data model? Because the infoset is a *bag* data structure. It provides a taxonomy of "things" that can be emmitted by a processor without providing any mechanisms whereby certain things can be mandated or proscribed by particular apps. My recent travails with editors/browsers/round-tripping SAX programs reported on this list illustrate the problem. My contention is that having a mechanism for specifying what infoset items are produced/consumed and round-tripped by XML applications would be a big help. This is the problem I was scratching at with XFM almost exactly two years ago now: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/xml-dev-Dec-1999/0002.html regards, Sean
