Given how much heat there's been around both subsetting XML and an equivalent efficient syntax for it, I wonder how far from consensus we'd be now, ten years down the lane. Enough of XML to capture an infoset comprising Document, Element, Attribute, Characters, Comments, and perhaps PIs and entity references, but no more? Binary as a separate syntax with pretty much the same stuff? Or with a little extra super simple typing? I never quite found out what had happened to SGML-B, the available online docs indicate an intention, and then some form of ELE seems to have happened. -- Robin Berjon Senior Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
