The Infoset blesses the notion of synthetic infosets which, however, they are created, are not created from an XML document and cannot be serialized to a namespace well-formed XML document. That is, the mapping form XML documents to infosets is not onto in either direction. There exist XML documents which do not have an infoset and infosets which do not have a corresponding XML document. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@m... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
