Of course, if we mean the verbiage in the Infoset spec about "element information items" , you're right, but I don't think anyone has ever argued that the Infoset spec is of much interest to anyone besides specwriters. If, on the other hand, we use "infoset" to mean the labeled tree data model, all DOM, XSLT, and XQuery-based applications use the "Infoset abstraction" and only consume the XML syntax after a parser has done its magic to turn it into nodes, events, objects, or whatever.
