Patrick Durusau scripsit: > Underlying XML is a data model. That data model is set forth at: > http://www.w3.org/XML/Datamodel.html Despite the impressive-looking URL, this document is utterly without authority. If you look at the parent page, http://www.w3.org/XML/notes.html, it says "This page collects some thoughts on XML and links to some software. It dates from 1997 and is not currently maintained." > It is not happenstance that all of the "data models" that you cite, > PSVI, XPath, DOM, are based on the presumption of a tree. The tree model > underlies all those "data models" and its presence was not a matter of > chance (or choice). The SAX data model, however, is linearized, not tree-structured. -- A poetical purist named Cowan [that's me: jcowan@r...] Once put the rest of us dowan.
