Fair enough, but if the W3C start producing specs that are XML and not
SGML, then they will lose me as a consumer of their specs. This is
especially true in light of what appendix C says.

As I'm sure you know, satisfiying the sytacital requirement doesn't make
your doucment complient. Semantics must also be satified. Unfortunately
there is no definition of what a Public Idenifer is in XML.
Looking at the copy of xml.dcl on my computer, it says
FORMAL NO
So, Arjun, does this mean that anything goes for PUBLIC identifiers?
