Re: Serialization of XDM

The one problem I am struggling with for an XML serialization format
for XDM is the use case which I suspect is the most common use case,
outputting a single XML Document.
If it was serialized in this new "XML XDM" format then the output of a
single XML document wouldnt be the XML document, it would by necessity
be wrapped in something like
<XDM>
  <xml/>
</XDM>
and you'd have to unwrap it in oder to use it.Â
This means that when doing XML processes you need to know ahead of time
whether your going to do XML or XDM serialization and then handle the
data accordingly.
This is why I had suggested as an ideal, that the degenerate case of
XDM serialization of a single XML document be in fact the XML text
serialization format.
That way for the most common use case the output would be the same as
conventionally.
But maybe this goal doesn't matter as much as having a XDM format that
works equally well in all cases.
I suspect it would be difficult, both technically and politically to
get acceptance of any other format *besides* an XML wrapped format.

I thought about your proposal once again. I think, this would be
useful for XML community.
so, +1 from me for this proposal. As I wrote earlier, I think a XML
format (defined as a XML Schema), would be good for XDM serialization.

 Basically too big to manage with XSLT.
 Use xquery to extract manageable chunks,  then pass on to XSLT to process
as required.
 Reconstitute the results back to an XML document.
