Thank you. Dan asks a reasonable question, which is whether a document that uses the conventions described in http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/pp/microsoft-serializing.html needs to signal somehow that these conventions are in play. In case of the "canonical format" I proposed, however, I don't think special signalling is necessary: The proposal does not add any new interpretations to the use of elements or attributes beyond what can be described in a DTD or a schema such as XML-Data or DCD. Elements, attributes, ids and idrefs are carefully used so that their normal XML interpretation matches the scoping and linking rules of object graphs or relational databases. In a general case, if conventions add rules for interpretation above what is in the structure of a document or above what can be expressed in a DTD, then this would need to be somehow signalled in order for a reader to process the document. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
