Common syntax (unicodeWithAngleBrackets) is beautiful for data interop, "information exchange" or whatever you want to call it. The infoset people are concerned with interop at the data model layer rather than the syntax layer, though. Data model interop is important in its own scenarios; mainly programming model (e.g. DOM). True, the two goals are somewhat orthogonal and even contradictory, but XML is appealing in part because it does a good job of bridging these two worlds. To some people, that bridge is a problem which allows the two domains to pollute one another, but I'm more of a "glass half full" person.
