I think we're back in floor-wax/dessert-topping territory. One of the 
early gripes with the DOM was browser/editor-specific functionality 
imposing significant performance overheads (in terms of the maintenance 
of book-keeping data) on server-side applications of the DOM. From my 
POV the result was much too browser/editor-centric.

I don't really remember much of these discussions revolving around the 
preservation or otherwise of lexical information, and where they did, 
eg. CDATA sections, entity boundaries and comments, it stayed in ... 
which IIRC is why they're in the Infoset and SAX2.

Cheers,


Miles
