Subject: RE: infoset
Actually, the CR spec (http://www.w3.org/tr/xml-infoset/ is only 16 pages long and, I think, quite simple. I compliment John Cowan and Richard Tobin for stating the facts clearly and sensibly. Refreshing! Can't say the same for all specs. -Mike P.S.

In my view it ought to show how the infoset maps onto this (it's very straightforward). <<<<<<<<<<< I'm struggling to understand infoset. On the one hand it seems simple - collections of what amount to 'documentation' about key parameter relating to some content instance? As usual the W3C has managed to make what appears to be a simple concept and totally obfuscate it. I was amazed there were no helpful samples in their doc' to help you unravel the insider-speak. Anyone have any useful URL's which explain what this stuff really is to mere mortals? Thanks, DW.
