They both feel overloaded, mostly. XML in particular is often thrown around carelessly by people talking about the infoset. Markup is less abused, I guess, though it still seems tarred. I'd like markup to mean working close to the textual representation, but I've had enough fights around that word to know that some people see it differently. It wouldn't really matter, except that I'm trying to establish a distinction, so I don't want to leave readers confused if they came with a different set of understandings. (The purpose of the contrast is to explain what the infoset perspective is, not the [MISSING WORD HERE] perspective, so I need to make sure the contrast is pretty sharp. A few non-specialist test readers have already complained that they didn't get it, which is why I brought the question here.) cwilper@c...

It is, but it'll be a good word to use elsewhere in the contrast. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
