I'd remove namespaces, the infoset, xml:space, xml:lang and xml:base.

In the case of namespaces, xml:space, xml:lang, and xml:base: these are markup 
constructs that needn't be standardized in the *syntax* specification, but 
should instead be defined at a higher level. 

The infoset is similar: the information gleaned from an XML document is 
necessarily application-specific, and as such, there is no need to make a 
single abstract set of information canonical.
