Exactly.

Based on his most recent note, I think Simon et al agree with Tyler. 
When XML folks use "data model" they meen round-tripping between native 
data types and XML.  Tyler's viewing it more abstractly (no surprise, no 
that UML is mentioned :), and therefore really means "syntax" in XML-speak.
