You've objected rather violently to Common XML and Minimal XML's subsetting of XML syntax, but you seem to insist on the Infoset only providing an abstraction of just such a subset, deliberately ignoring the rest. The 'usual SML suspects', Sean and myself, both seem to be arguing that the Infoset should be as inclusive as possible if it claims to represent XML 1.0. I'm not sure that either of us is really contradicting ourselves, but it does feel genuinely strange.
